Singer Frances Black was among those honoured at the Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Awards in Dublin last night in recognition of her work founding a support group for assisting the families of addicts.
The 50-year-old set up The RISE Foundation in 2006 to help families of addicts better understand the nature of addiction and the profound effects it has on relationships.
Black acted after receiving a huge response from traumatised relatives when she spoke publicly about her own experience of alcoholism.
