We provide high-quality, evidence-based, innovative substance misuse and mental health services across England in prison and community settings. In 2002 Inclusion was created as part of the award winning South Staffordshire and Shropshire NHS Foundation Trust (SSSFT). It was created to develop and provide evidence based innovative services to beneficiaries across England. At its inception, Inclusion was created to have the flexibility to provide local solutions to local communities but with the governance and commitment to quality of the NHS.
