All the bedding plants are potted, and in a few weeks they'll bring amazing colour and fragrance to our wee corner of the 'Shire.

The big beds are weeded and ready for some new plants - 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐬.

We're going to be gathering and gardening regularly through the summer, so look out for the sign on the fence and feel free to come and join us.

Because positive change happens through connection ❤️

All of us at DACA would like to give a big shout out to WDC Unite Union West Dunbartonshire branch for their support and generosity 🙌🙌🙌
Union Convenor, Connor Farmer, visited DACA today and presented a cheque to chief executive Mags Mackenzie, as a contribution towards ongoing service delivery following DACA's recent funding loss. Thank you so much, Unite the Union West Dunbartonshire!

This donation kick-starts DACA's new fundraising drive to ensure the service's continuation well into the future. More information to follow soon! 👀

❤️Thank you and goodnight❤️

As DACA’s community alcohol service comes to an end, the team want to extend our deepest thanks to everyone who has walked alongside us - our community members, partners, volunteers and other supporters. Your trust, kindness, and belief in our work have meant the world to us.

We’d like to give particular mention to our friends at Alternatives West Dunbartonshire CDS, who are facing the same heart-breaking situation we are, and say, 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘪 𝘯𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘮!

And to our amazing, indomitable FoDSquad – you have inspired us on a daily basis, and we’re rooting for you all. Keep on trucking.

While this chapter is coming to a close, the connections, care and fellowship we’ve shared will remain with us always, wherever life takes us.

In other words... FoDs4Life ❤️

It's Day 4 of celebrating DACA's legacy...

People have walked through DACA's doors seeking hope, healing and connection for almost 50 years. Many found what they were looking for, and DACA's true legacy carries on in them.

DACA's Legacy - day 3...

For almost 50 years, DACA has added value to the West Dunbartonshire support services economy by securing charitable grant funding to enhance and develop services across our community.

We've always pulled our weight.
We've always shared the load.

Day 2 of celebrating DACA's legacy...

DACA is a human-centred service. People helping people. And when it's local people doing the helping, then the connection and the impact can be even greater. And by hiring local people for our staff team, DACA has supported the West Dunbartonshire economy for decades.
DACA - From West Dunbartonshire. For West Dunbartonshire 🙌
