Drugline Lancashire is a charity from the UK that is celebrating 20 years in existence.
At the moment they are trying to track down people who have volunteered over the last two decades in helping them out so they can all celebrate on August 4.
While I may be a cynic when it comes to federal or international organisations like the UNDOC, outfits like Drugline are the ones that are going to have real impact on a local level. These types of charities and the people who operate them are at the coalface of the drug problem and deserve far more credit and funding than any politician or bureaucrat does.
Telephone helplines, ounceling services, outreach events, needle exchanges and drug information and safety campaigns are at teh heart of reducing the harm of drugs and Drugline Lancashire undertake these types of activities and more.
With that small rant out of the way, happy birthday Drugline Lancashire!
