SCUFs ALWAYS BEEN HAPPY TO COLLABORATE with anyone. If our members wanted to work for someone theyd get a job



CONTRACTS are only ever designed to control or manage something or someone. AGREEMENTs are the ONLY THING I sign

At least THATS REFRESHING TO KNOW, that my whole peer team, who I've always represented as to their wishes and requests, still have respect for me and the process unlike some of our former supposed 'partners'. EXACTLY WHY myself, SCUF as a peer team
and its members have ALL DECIDED (its how peer teams and representation work)to no longer continue with the farce

UNFORTUNATELY ITS MY SAD DUTY TO inform peers THAT NEITHER SCUF (Substance Campaigns User Friendly) myself or peer members will NO LONGER BE INVOLVED with the project, where the intention was for us not only to collect AUTHENTIC AND QUALITATIVE data but also distribute SiPP kits and post intervention research. TRUST, RESPECT AND INTEGRITY is, has always been and will always remain at the heart of what we do.

FORGOT TO MENTION what came out of The

pre conference peer meeting that was recently held

THE BIGGEST AND OVERWHELMING BARRIER

WAS AND STILL IS

STIGMA

TO ANY current or future problematic substance user TRYING to ENGAGE drug services

WEEK 4 despite ever changing targets OF COURSE are on target to complete pre-intervention and base line questionnaires by end of may in readiness FOR WHAT UK DRUG TREATMENTS waiting 20 years for, all be it only temporarily for now😥 A RETURN TO STIMULANT INTERVENTIONS with tje distribution of "The SiPP Kit" a purpose made case containing glass pipe, rubber mouthpieces, heavy duty gauzes, wooden prodder (for collecting recycle). NOW DO FOLK BELIEVE ME TOE JAR

THANK YOU to all those who expressed interest in attending The DDN conference peer planning session.
EVERYONE who submitted expressions of interest will be notified before Monday close of business 5pm. There's certainly been a wide range from cross the treatment sector so looks set for an interesting and productive event

THAT'S HOW RIDICULOUS UK drug treatment is TO SAY THE MAJORITY OF SERIOUS crime and deaths is over the control of the crack markets so what do they do?? CUT ALL STIMULANT SERVICES AND INTERVENTIONS and JUST concentrate on opioids and NOTHING else. NOT WISE

NICE TO SEE expressions of interest coming in from peers and peer groups, i hope EVERYONE who wants involved but thinks its only little old me 1 also take b time, we want to hear from you and for many years ive bashed the drum alone for peers not just in Nottingham but nationwide too BY WORKING TOGETHER is the only way most listen LOOK AT NALOXONE, 10 YEARS hardly anyone wanted to know but along the way i gained not what turns out are now good friends but also like minded colleagues who slowly came on board or gave me the platform, supporr and encouragement SO PLEASE NOBODY THINK WE'RE TOO SMALL because THERE'S SOME AMAZING INDIVIDUALS often doing stuff unfunded and at their own expense right across and all 4 corners of the uk . EVERY APPLICATION WILL be given equal status so whether 2 of you running an impromotu needle exchange in your area or a national organisation responsible for service delivery in numerous regions or perhaps an employment adviser working with those having completed their treatment plan and journey that isn't remotely interested in working in drug treatment. EVERYBODY'S INPUT IS IMPORTANT

AND 2 MAKES 6

THINK ID BEST put my DDN hat on for a few days or we'll be sat there on our own Anna Millington 😉🤔 DON'T THINK SO

INTERESTED IN having your say about what goes on at this year's conference??? A peer lead, a peer worker or work with peers around involvement, engagement and mobilisation???
