All bodies have and everybody has a right to safety, respect and bodily autonomy.
The biggest responsibility lies with anyone thinking about spiking NOT to do it.
Crew 2000 Scotland exists to reduce drug and sexual health related harms and stigma, improving mental and physical health without judgement.
Since 1992, we’ve grown from a purely volunteer-led organisation originating in the rave and free party scene to a mixed professional and volunteer team providing:
• advice, information and support Drop-in shop for young people aged 12-25 face to face in central Edinburgh and online, with free, confidential Blood Borne Virus and pregnancy testing and barrier contraception/Sexually transmitted infection prevention
• training for professionals across Scotland, and Take-home Naloxone overdose prevention training and supply of Overdose Prevention Kits for anyone likely to witness an opiate or opioid overdose (eg drugs like methadone, heroin or codeine)
• Nightlife Harm Reduction welfare and crisis support for young people at music festivals and clubs
• counselling for adults wishing to reduce, stabilise or stop stimulant drug use supported by Edinburgh Alcohol and Drug Partnership
