Thank you to the 420 people who took part in this survey. It was good to hear from so many people living locally about your experiences.

You can hear about what people told us in the survey in our short summary. We have used what you told us to help us decide our priorities and the local services we fund. This includes using what you told us to help us plan, alongside Hastings Borough Council, Sussex Police, and treatment and recovery services, areas of the town we can target. This will enable us to offer advice and education on what support is available, both to those using substances in a problematic way, and their friends and families.

Overview

Project ADDER is a Government initiative to help the police, local authorities, health, and other partners work together to reduce drug-related deaths, offending and the prevalence of drug use. 

The ADDER funding awarded to Hastings will help to reduce the supply of drugs, increase the number of drug users using treatment and recovery services, and reduce drug-related reoffending.
