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

Have you seen the extraordinary extended storytelling platform insidethewhitechip.com created by super whizz Joel Hall yet? Big thanks to the lovely people of @alcoholchangeuk.bsky.social for the links to their fabulous resources which you can find in the Quiz section.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the harm reduction movement worldwide.

Rest in power, Peter.

He fought injustice and stigma and created change - a change that started with someone brave enough to say, “This is not good enough.”

From all of us at SUIT we honour Peter’s life, his activism, and his dedication to saving lives and raising hope.

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.
