Created: 25/09/2014ASH Scotland receive funding from the Scottish Government and NHS Health Scotland to provide "free" tailored one-hour Tobacco Awareness-Raising Sessions (TARS) and are delighted to be able to offer them to mental health and/or older adults organisations within Fife. The sessions are aimed at simply getting staff/volunteers to consider what the issues are relating to smoking with their particular client group, and to deliver them at a time and place which is suitable to the organisation.
