How to order free needle exchange supplies to your home

Did you know you can get needle exchange supplies posted to you for free? We’re working with Exchange Supplies on a service called NSP Direct. 

It means you can order clean injecting equipment to your home and you won’t have to pay for the equipment or the delivery.

“NSP Direct has been a game-changer. I can order what I need, when I want it and most importantly for me, this can be done discretely. This service fits in with my routine, working and my preferences, not the other way around”

- A service user who works full time and is using the scheme in Cheshire

How do I order? 

  1. Get in touch with your local service who will give you a unique code. 

  1. Sign up on the Exchange Supplies website using your code and put in some basic info about yourself.  

  1. If you don’t have internet access, you can order on the phone: 01305 262244. 

  1. Choose the products you need, ideally to last you for four weeks and check out. 

  1. Your order will normally arrive in the post within one to two days in plain, non-identifiable packaging. Easy! 

How is it going so far? 

A Change Grow Live service manager said:

NSP Direct has made a real difference. People can use the scheme without worrying about reusing needles, but know we are still here for them to see us when they can. 

Peter Furlong, North West Harm Reduction lead said:

This is a great scheme we are pleased to be part of. I think of it a bit like free Prime Membership for our service users who need help in getting equipment.
