Tayside Council on Alcohol

TCA grew from a grassroots desire to support individuals struggling to cope with problem drinking. TCA was registered as a Charity in 1973 and formed into a Company Limited by Guarantee in 1986. Although the organisation has grown, and the range of services has expanded, we have remained true to this underpinning ethos of responding to the needs as expressed by the people and families living in communities across the three local authorities of Tayside.
 
We deliver services across the three local authorities of Tayside and our services are adapted to meet the needs of the Angus, Dundee and Perth & Kinross communities. Whether you are looking for support for yourself, worried about a friend or someone in your family, a professional looking for information or advice, we can help.
 
We hold a Family Support Group every Monday, 10.30am – 11.30am at Forfar Fire Station.  If you concerned about a loved one who is
using alcohol or substances as a coping mechanism and feel like you would benefit from some support, please give us a call.
