⚠️ ALERT

Cychlorphine — a potent synthetic opioid similar to Nitazenes — is still circulating in Camden.
➡️ Multiple naloxone doses may be needed to reverse an overdose.

🛡️ Staying safer when using drugs

🔽 Go low and slow:
Start with a very small amount (e.g., a quarter hit) and be cautious about new or unknown supplies.

👥 Don’t use alone:
Have someone you trust with you — ideally with 2+ naloxone kits. Using alone means no one can help if you overdose.

⏳ If using with others:
Have one person test first with a small dose and wait for the peak effects.

❌ Don’t mix drugs:
Mixing drugs (including alcohol) increases overdose risk.

💛 Look after friends:
Watch for overdose signs:
• unconsciousness
• shallow or no breathing
• loud snoring/rasping
• blue/grey lips or fingertips

📞 If someone overdoses:
Call 999, give naloxone.
If no response after 2–3 minutes, give another dose.
Naloxone works for 20–40 minutes, so medical help is still essential.

💉 Naloxone & test strips

Available free at CGL Camden — for anyone, not just people using opioids.

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Kate Dallas, Service Manager at CGL Camden.

Kate was a much-loved manager, colleague, and friend. She was truly one of a kind —inspiring everyone around her with her kindness, compassion, and unwavering commitment to helping others.

Kate dedicated much of her career to supporting people in Camden affected by drug and alcohol use, and she was a strong advocate for both service users and her team.

She will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of working alongside her.

We are preparing a special newsletter in memory of Kate. If you would like to contribute a message or receive a copy, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

With love,
CGL Camden
