If you're worried your liver might be damaged by alcohol you can have a fibroscan. This is a scan, similar to an ultrasound, that uses a ‘wand’, placed on the outside of your body to scan your liver.

It is completely painless and is able to tell how stiff your liver is (which can indicate if scarring is there) and how much fat is there (which can be an indicator of fatty liver disease).

If you’re concerned about your drinking, and you live in Slough, come and have a chat and we can take it from there.

Abusive partnerships and substance use often go hand in hand. But love should not hurt.

Love is about respect and care for the other person. It's mutual and it's kind.

We are part of the Safer Slough Partnership, seeking to reduce crime, anti-social behaviour and fear of crime in Slough. No one should live in fear of what their partner might do, or be made to feel bad by their partner.

If you’re in an unhealthy relationship, help is available.

As a substance use support service, we focus as much on harm reduction as we do on recovery. That’s why we advise that you avoid these five practices if you’re using drugs:
1. Mixing substances
2. Sharing bank notes when snorting

4. Holding smoke in your lungs for too long
5. Double dosing.

We’re here for anyone in Slough who wants more information or support about substance use. Drop in to see us at Slough Community Hub (CHUB) open from 7am to 8pm, Monday to Friday. 🫶🏼
