The ARC Project made the request to the local authority.
Laois County Council is set to light up in purple today for the first time to mark Recovery Month.
The ARC Project made the request to the local authority in order to highlight individuals, families and communities in the county affected by addiction.
The voluntary group is based in Portlaoise with one of their main goals centered around changing the narrative on addiction and recovery.
Michelle Robertson, co-founder of the ARC Project says it's a meaningful day for the people they work with:
