Rotary Donates £1,000 to local charity - Motiv8 Addiction Services - Spring 2025

Established in 1978, Motiv8 was the first service on the IOM to assist those with alcohol problems. The service has evolved and has had several name changes over time whilst it has taken on responsibility for drugs, gambling and gaming services.

The primary aim of Motiv8 is to minimise the harm associated with drug, alcohol and gambling/gaming problems, not just for service users and their families but for the whole community. They offer a service that is easy to access, quick to respond with no waiting list and offering a wide range of therapeutic interventions which offer choice and flexibility.

Motiv8 prides itself on its commitment to confidentiality. They recognise that stigma and embarrassment deter many in a small community from coming forward for help with this issue. Motiv8 understands this. They have no waiting room, no signs outside the premises. Their building is central but discreet.

Motiv8 is apolitical and impartial in approach preferring to remain low key to gain then confidence of potential service users as an organisation of trust.
