The Harm Reduction Exchange

The Harm Reduction Exchange is an independent, cross-sector network bringing together drug and alcohol commissioners, practitioners, strategists, researchers, people who use drugs, and others with an interest in harm reduction across England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Our mission is to support evidence-based, community-driven harm reduction by sharing learning, endorsing effective approaches, and enabling collaboration across roles and regions.

Through open exchange, we:

• Share experiences, successes, and barriers in harm reduction practice
• Review and promote effective interventions
• Connect researchers and advocates with commissioners and decision-makers
• Develop practical guidance for implementation
• Curate trusted resources for those working to reduce harm from drugs and alcohol

Whether you're shaping policy, delivering frontline support, or advocating for change, The Harm Reduction Exchange is your space to connect, contribute and collaborate.
