Safe Consumption Edinburgh

Making our demands clear ‼️ @Edinburgh_CC

On average one person dies every two days in our city due to drug related harm, we will not sit quietly and wait, join us in demanding a Safe Consumption Facility.

It would not have happened without the fantastic work of everyone involved in this campaign. But we need as many perspectives on this as possible to make sure the facility works for all, and we need people to put pressure on the council to get the work done quickly.

Come along to our public meeting on the 7th of October. The Edinburgh Integrated Joint Board have confirmed that a consultation on the establishment of a Safe Consumption Facility in Edinburgh will go ahead in early 2026, this is a win.

On Tuesday, the Edinburgh Integration Joint Board will take a vote on implementing a safe consumption facility in Edinburgh. Join us outside City Chambers at 9:30am to demand that this drawn out process come to an end. Edinburgh needs an SCF now. No more delays. No more deaths.
