Bubic is an award winning community-based organisation that provides support for drug users, ex-drug users, their family and friends. The service is mainly aimed at crack users.
Bubic’s strength lies in our approach. We work in and with communities to encourage and support ex-users become peer mentors and advisors to help those who are addicted to drugs recognize the causes and effect of their addiction and to give them practical advice and emotional support to combat their addiction.
Our staff and volunteers (many of whom are ex-users) run support groups and other activities across Haringey, North London. If you, or anyone you know is addicted to drugs or affected by someone else’s addiction then Bubic can help.
Bubic’s Aims and Objectives
Bubic aims to reduce crack cocaine and other drug use and addiction in North London.
If you, or anyone you know is addicted to drugs or affected by someone else’s addiction then Bubic can help.
Who We Are
BUBIC consists of staff, volunteers and service users all of whom play an important part in making Bubic the success that it is.
I decided to seek help and after leaving prison, I started to work with existing drug support services, then teamed up with peers I met through a drug and alcohol abuse service to set up an award winning charity, BUBIC.
I needed to show my kids that I could change and be a better father to them so I voluntarily put myself into recovery and became part of setting up a support service 'Bubic' and giving back to the community and I've been giving back on a daily basis for the past 15 years.
I have lived in Tottenham for 8 years and have worked in different drug and alcohol services in Haringey for 5 years. I started volunteering with BUBIC doing night outreach and came to work for the organisation at the start of this year, as it is a unique and vibrant organisation.
My name is Michelle Williams and I started with Bubic back in 2012 as a volunteer. By becoming a volunteer, I was able to achieve skills and knowledge and understand the ethos of the organisation.
This enabled me to apply for a position as a ‘Volunteer Co-ordinator’ to work alongside other volunteer individuals who come into Bubic. Thank You to BUBIC
