[following article first published 23/10/09]
Barbara Clark is calling Christians in the Inverness area to pray concerning the situation facing Beechwood House, the 'Designated Place' for those who are suffering from problems with alcohol.
She is very concerned that if the facility suffers from the reduced funding from Highland Council that those whom are currently served by the unit will be left with no support in coping with their problems.
Inverness Presbytery of theChurch of Scotland has also entered the battle to save a publicly-funded facility. The worth of the facility is attested by the police and the NHS who would otherwise have to commit personnel and resources to deal with those who are under the influence of alcohol. Dave Thomson, a Highland MSP, has written to the Chief Executive of Highland Council suggesting that CrossReach, the Beechwood operator, be given the chance to come up with alternative proposals which would allow the Centre to continue in operation, albeit at a reduced level.
 

All those who are concerned about or affected, directly or indirectly, by those with alcohol problems are wamly invited to this time of prayer

Beechwood House is a ‘Designated Place’ established under the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act of 1980 to serve as an alternative to custody for those who have been arrested for public drunkness and require a place of safety while they sober up.
Due to funding constraints Highland Council, the local authority funder, is threatening to reduce its contribution by £200,000 which would result in a loss of 10 jobs.
