Gwent Drug & Alcohol Service

Brilliant session last week with our IPED (Image & Performance Enhancing Drugs) leads, Rich and Luke, who delivered training with the Peer Academy. They shared knowledge, answered questions, and kept harm reduction at the heart of it all 💬💪

A huge thank you to @asda Caerphilly for their kind donation to our Homeless Hub 🙌 We’re so grateful for the support – it makes a real difference to those in our community who need it most 💙

Amazing work from our peer team who ran their very first pop-up Naloxone stall in Caerphilly this week! 💛 In just 2 hours, they gave out 14 Naloxone kits and 7 Naloxone pebbles – that’s 21 chances to save a life 💪 Huge well done to everyone involved! 🙌

📢 Important Notice 📢 Please note that our service will be closed on Bank Holiday Monday, 26th August. We will re-open and resume normal operations on Tuesday, 27th August. Thank you for your understanding and enjoy the long weekend! 🌞
