Other services

ASH Scotland provides a broad range of services to help public, private and third sector organisations address the harm tobacco causes to their clients, staff, service users and communities.

Our professional and highly skilled staff are able to deliver on a wide spectrum of commissioned work, for example:

We have published a new leaflet setting out the wide range of ways in which we can provide information, guidance and support to enable frontline organisations to engage with their clients on smoking. If you work in any service supporting people then we may have something tailored to help you. 

If you would like further information about any of these areas of work, please contact us on 0131 225 4725 or via enquiries@ashscotland.org.uk.
