Needle and syringe programmes

Needle and syringe programmes, sometimes known as needle exchanges, are places where you can get new, clean injecting equipment and advice for staying safe. You can also return any used equipment so that it can be safely disposed of.

If you want to access needle and syringe programmes in person, there are a number of options. If you see this logo, it means that you can exchange your needles here.

We also offer a needle and syringe programme by post, with the option of discrete packaging, for free. Please ask your keyworker or a member of staff in the needle exchange for the code you will need to access this service. 

Some local pharmacies also offer a free needle and syringe programme. Find your nearest one below.
