Arcade delivers interactive projects to schools providing drug and alcohol education. As an educational charity we also provide tailor made PSHE sessions looking at life skills such as healthy choice making, peer pressure, bullying and self esteem.We also look at the risk and consequenses surrounding drug and alcohol choices. ARCADE's passion is to provide active learning experiences and age appropriate drugs education to all young people in Berkshire.

All of us are aware of the increased use of alcohol and drugs within our society and the impact that misuse has on our communities. ARCADE work hard to educate young people before they start to make life choices for themselves. ARCADE aim to build the self esteem of young people and equip them with decision making skills that they can take with them into adult life. At ARCADE we promote an attitude of getting in early and firmly believe in the importance of preventative education.

After each of our sessions we ask staff and pupils to evaluate our projects. Pupils report that they gain in confidence and information and feel empowered to make their own decisions. Pupils are able to remember who we are and the main messages of our sessions year on year as we revisit schools. Ofsted has reported that good quality curriculum based education when provided by outside agencies in close collaboration with the school increases the effectiveness of the education.
