Needle Exchange

Needle Exchange and Naloxone 

Safety is at the heart of all we do. Our needle exchange is designed to reduce harm to those who have found themselves in the cycle of substance use.  It is a free and confidential service where anyone can dispose of used works as well as accessing clean injecting equipment and wound care packs.

Using new, sterile injecting equipment helps keep you safe from infections, wounds and abscesses.

It protects you from viruses like HIV, hep B and hep C.

Naloxone

Naloxone (provided under the brand names Prenoxad and Nyxoid in the UK) is a medication used to reverse opioid overdose. Since 2015, this medication has been more widely available in the UK as a ‘take home’ emergency medication.  We can dispense Naloxone to anyone who wishes to help us save lives.
