A Plymouth alcohol and drug support charity is to close, managers have said.

Trustees of Broadreach House said on Facebook, external the organisation would "cease to trade" on Friday 5 July after facing "a number of financial challenges" over recent months and "despite the best efforts of all concerned".

As well as outreach, the charity said the move would see the closure of Broadreach, its 31-bed male-only detoxification and residential service, and Longreach, its female-only service which can accommodate up to 23 women.

The decision was being made "with deep regret" despite its residential areas currently at full capacity and "demand for our services in recent months being greater than ever".

The trustees added that they were contacting "care managers and commissioners of clients currently in treatment in order to make arrangements for their ongoing care".

Chief Executive Lesley Pickles previously said closure would have a "catastrophic" impact for the charity's clients.
