Yesterday we asked people at the #IdeasConference what they want an incoming government to prioritise: ✅ Stop seeing drug use as a moral issue ✅ Funding for small, local projects ✅ Stop stigma that prevents parents accessing help ✅ Funding for culturally sensitive services

“Whatever your level of knowledge about harm reduction, this weekend, learn a bit more.. amplify the voices of people who might know more than you do… carry naloxone. Stand back & view your clients as people and ask what they want” maddie from @HIT_org_uk #ideasconference

“It’s two words , capitalism & austerity. That’s how we got to where we are “ @hussey_deb #ideasconference

@BAC_IN on drug and alcohol commissioning: "If you saw us there would be many services like ours in the country and you'd have many people who look like me in your services. We have a tokenistic, tick box culture" #IdeasConference

Lots of interesting discussion in first session rounded up with well deserved applause for comment in audience that all too often funders/commissioners/people in power want the voices/lived experience/best practices of marginalised communities but they don't want to pay us for them #IdeasConference @Project6_

Looking forward to an interesting day of discussions @Project6_ #IdeasConference 2024
