Organisations and individuals can now apply to the Beat Drugs Fund Secretariat under the fund's special funding exercise.

The project theme is 'Resource Kit for Parents', and applications are open until June 30.

The aim is to help parents learn about drugs, communicate better with children, notably on drug issues, foster childrens' healthy growth, enhance parents' ability to identify high-risk or drug-taking youths, and make the best use of community support services.
