Breaking the Silence.
Supporting Recovery in
South Asian Communities.

Recovery is possible. You are not alone.

Addiction thrives in silence. We're changing that. We work with South Asian communities across Greater Manchester — listening, researching and co-producing resources that challenge stigma and make recovery services truly inclusive.

If There Is No Door to Walk Through,
Don't Expect Anyone to Come Forward.

Reflections on the ACMD's first dedicated review of drug use in ethnic minority communities — and what it means for South Asian families in Rochdale.

COMMUNITY EVENT · 28 JUNE 2026

Rochdale Science
Extravaganza 2026 —
Come Find Us.

Rochdale Exchange Shopping Centre · 10:30am – 4:00pm

The Salik Project UK will have a stall at this year's Science Extravaganza. We'll also be announcing the winner of our Addiction Awareness Poster Competition — with prizes up for grabs and winning posters distributed to schools and mosques across Rochdale.

Our Work
in the Community

From awareness campaigns in mosques and community centres, to structured focus groups and bilingual resources — everything we do is shaped by the communities we serve.

Together, we can change how addiction is understood and treated.

We are actively seeking partners — community organisations, health services, commissioners, and faith leaders — to join our listening sessions, shape our findings, and help make recovery services more culturally responsive across Greater Manchester.
