In 2016 Christos founded Free From Needles (FFN), an anti-narcotics charity organisation dedicated to helping drug addicts both remain healthy should they choose to maintain their addictions or to assist them through recovery. When announcing the charity, Christos mentioned that a child-hood friend of his - Demipho Victor, who had died from overdose three years earlier - was his inspiration to reach out and help those in similar situations. In an interview given later that year, he told Belfrasian News Network "Too many charity organisations turn a blind eyes to addicts who sadly decide to remain with their addiction rather than seeking the better route of recovery. Whilst it is in their best interest to recover and lead a healthy, safe life we must consider their health and protect them from harmful diseases by ensuring they are not forced to utilise found, questionable needles or to reuse old ones."
