ADS (Addiction Dependency Solutions*), has been selected as the charity of choice by Costain staff working on the Greater Manchester Waste project.

Costain holds regular events at which project staff donate money to a charity of their choice, and they were keen to lend their support to ADS.

Stephen Samuels, ADS Oldham Service Manager, said: "We are delighted to be selected by Costain. We are going to spend it on our drop-in centre, which is central to our work with clients. We always aim to give all our clients a warm welcome, and to work with them in friendly surroundings."

Rhona Bradley, ADS Chief Executive, says: "As an organisation we like to foster good relationships within the community, and especially with other organisations and businesses. We offer a number of services to business, including staff information training, as well as volunteering opportunities. We are very pleased to have been chosen by Costain. My thanks to the staff who donated money, and I hope that there will be ways in which we can work with them in the future."

John Boyd, Costain Project Director, said: "Following representations from the charity, the Costain staff on the Greater Manchester Waste project are delighted to be able to offer support to the valuable work undertaken by ADS within the local communities."
