fass was originally established as The Glasgow Association of
Family Support Groups in 1984. Since then we have helped countless families and individuals to cope with the affects
of addiction. In June 2008 the Glasgow Association
of Family Support Groups became fass (family addiction support service). The change of name reflects
the changing nature of addiction services which now encompasses both drug and alcohol misuse.
We fully intend to
continue and improve the services that began nearly 25 years ago. And, also,continue to provide the community with a unique
and special service.
Jim Harrigan MBE
In 1997 Jim Harrigan was awarded the MBE for his work with addicts and families in the community. Jim has been
involved with the association since the beginning and he believes that this award belongs to the Association far more than
it does him.
This valuable service to the community was ,again, officially recognised in 2003 when the Association
was awarded the Queen's Golden Jubilee Award For Voluntary Service By Groups In The Community.
