Did you know? We’ve created Substance Information Cards covering 14 of the most commonly used drugs in the UK.

Each one offers clear, honest information, what the substance is, what to look out for, and how to reduce risks, informed by harm‑reduction and clinical experts.

They’re designed to be downloaded, printed, and shared, making them great conversation starters in schools, services, families, and communities 💬

Comment 'CARDS' below and we will send you the link to download the cards!
