life-saver

One service user at Penrhyn House in Bangor, Gwynedd, which helps people battling addiction said they were now 90 days sober from cocaine thanks to its help, describing the centre as a "life-saver".

He added: "It's been a life-saver for me, it's changed my life around in a short space of time and I can't thank the place enough."

A couple who use a food club to get by have described it as a "life-saver" but said they have concerns about how they will cope after household bills are hiked up in April.

"I don't know how we'll manage but this is a life-saver," she said.

While the rollout is undoubtedly a relief and a life-saver, its relatively low efficacy rate means that it is not a "silver bullet", argues Willis Akhwale at End Malaria Council Kenya.
