Collective Voice has responded to the Government's 10-year #health plan. The ideas & principles are welcome, but if they're going to deliver on their ambitions they will need to work closely with #charities & have more of a focus on #alcohol & other #drugs

SUIT are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Peter Krykant.
He was a tireless advocate, innovator, and champion for harm reduction.

Peter’s work changed the landscape of drug policy in the UK. His mobile overdose prevention van was launched when official support was lacking.

“…prisons have taken the lion’s share of funding in criminal justice for too long..”
Well said
"I don't think spending billions of pounds on new prisons is the answer. More money needs to be spent on the probation service in the community. It is the probation service that is the ultimate guarantor of public safety" - Andrew Neilson, Director of Campaigns.
