I have a story

I’m a mother of three boys

A hairdresser / salon owner

I believe that hairstylists are good networkers as well as creative people and unpaid therapists at times

I’ve made all my clients aware of this charity when they have asked about the posters and pictures up in the salon

And if I had known about Nacoa at the time I would have definitely used them

My children lost their dad to drink three years ago at the age of 52

Although my children had all kinds of help and support, there wasn’t any in place for this specific type of grief

All my youngest would say was “why didn’t daddy stop drinking?”

Knowing this charity is there in case they need it on their journey is reassuring, especially as they get older.
