Mentor UK continues to increase its profile as the leading UK agency working to prevent drug related harm to children and young people. We are working with government departments and other agencies to influence and effect prevention policy. We have also established a database with more than 1,700 contacts, both supporters and influencers, and over 1,200 people now receive our six-monthly newsletter.
To take forward our prevention activities, Mentor UK's Trustees agreed a five-year Strategic Plan which focuses, as with our previous Plan, on four key objectives, within an international context:
• To influence drug misuse prevention policy
• To support good practice in drug misuse prevention
• To support drug misuse prevention research
• To increase the profile of Mentor and drug misuse prevention
