Resources for drug users

Hello,

Your Gamesley and St Johns Safer Neighbourhood Team are working to priorities requested by the residents. One of your top priorities is drugs.

We know that a certain amount of usage stems from mental health struggles, so PCSO Martin and PC Morris have been running events across our beat area to aid with ending usage rather than criminalising users. We have handed out leaflets and offered signposting to mental health support. And we had useful freebies such as anti-spiking kits.

For any who could not attend, below are some links which may prove useful:
