Examples of the work we have done so far:

  • Launched our first Ambassador programme (Level 2 – Information, Advice & Guidance) with 9 learners completing. We are now supporting the learners with applications into Ambassador roles which will provide volunteering experience in and around the local Drug and Alcohol partnership for these successful learners.
  • Started delivering harm reduction Clinics across the partnership with local hostels several times a week, reaching those who may otherwise be reluctant to engage, helping to reduce the influx of people using the needle exchange programme at local Pharmacies, which in turn is allowing them to concentrate on dispensing.
  • We are experts through lived experience
  • We donʼt medicalise peopleʼs everyday problems
  • We challenge negative labels and helplessness
  • We pro-actively recruit those with lived experiences Our work is educational, fun, and easy to understand
  • We promote independence and resilience
