Technical advisor, drug user advocate and human rights activist working on harm reduction, drug treatment and community mobilisation with people who use drugs.
Number of peers will be doing a show and tell about their choices around harm reduction materials and what informs them. I’m going to talk about the evolution of the SIPP pipe based on peer feedback. Still few more slots for peer shower and tellers if you will be at INHSU!

I will also document the Huset Bergen model in a technical case study with Coact (see fundraiser).

The Huset Bergen model is a community-led low threshold agency that also includes a high tolerance night shelter. I am here to provide an international perspective on the role of drug user organising in drug policy reform.

The only friend requests I get are fake young women accounts. Fair play they’re quickly banned but still lack of contact unless you happen to be online at the same time makes account building impossible.

Leon guided a really thoughtful and interesting discussion about harm reduction and community. The podcast should be out by 25.7 on Spotify.

Just listened to the cut of the podcast. Leon Eckford is someone originally from Edinburgh with lived experience of drug use. Leon experienced the period when Edinburgh was infamously described as the “AIDS capital of Europe”.
