Nacoa (The National Association for Children of Alcoholics) is a Bristol based charity founded in 1990 to provide help and support for everyone affected by a parent’s drinking. We believe that every child has the right to a happy childhood and to live a creative and meaningful life but when drink is the family secret they are more likely to experience family violence, neglect and other problems in their own homes.

As a reformed alcoholic myself I understand the vital importance of this charity and the work they carry out. I am trying to raise awareness and give support and inspiration through the instagram account I’ve created with my daughter Summer called @mysobermum.
