Who We Are
About Us
DASL is a registered charity, providing services for
people with substance misuse, gambling and smoking
problems in London. We also provide healthy lifestyle
initiatives such as cycling and gardening projects for
the local community.
We have been working within local communities for
over 34 years, and we provide a wide range of free
and paid for services, some of which are detailed in this
leaflet.
At DASL we work hard to provide services that are
friendly and welcoming and we have highly committed
staff who are experienced and qualified in specific
areas of work. We continue to extend services to
communities that are currently underserved and hard
to reach, as reflected in our Mission Statement:
"Drug & Alcohol Service for London
exists to respond to the needs of
and educate people experiencing
alcohol and drug problems and
related problems within different
communities."
Gambling Counselling
On Your Bike!
DASL has years of experience of working with
dependency and gambling has become an ever
increasing problem. With access to gambling becoming
easier via the increased number of venues and ease of
access via apps and
online sites,
problems associated
with gambling are
rising e.g. financial,
relationship,
employment, mental
health and many more. DASL has developed support
services for those who are seeking help with a problem
with gambling. This is via 1:1 counselling support and/or
group based support. Some counselling sessions can be
provided in the evening.

Urban Garden Project
DASL’s urban garden project is at an exciting phase of
its development. With consultancy input from the
Plunkett Foundation and grants from Awards for All and
Urban Growth we are planning further expansion of this
site to be part of the
wider London food
growing network and
as a preliminary
training space for
those clients who
might be interested
in learning more about gardening and food growing and
who want to work alongside their peers in gaining new
transferable skills. If you would
like to learn more, get involved
or volunteer for this project,
