Release

"UK experts on drugs & drug laws. Need advice? Contact 020 7324 2989/ ask@release.org.uk"

"We campaign for drug policies that respect rights of people who use drugs."

"Release is the national centre of expertise on drugs and drugs law. The organisation, founded in 1967, is an independent and registered charity.

Through our services the team provides free non-judgmental, specialist advice and information to the public and professionals on issues related to drug use and to drug laws.

The organisation campaigns directly on issues that impact on our clients - it is their experiences that drive the policy work that Release does and why we advocate for evidence-based drug policies that are founded on principles of public health rather than a criminal justice approach.

Release believes in a just and fair society where drug policies should reduce the harms associated with drugs, and where those who use drugs are treated based on principles of human rights, dignity and equality."

Release offers a wide range of services and support designed to assist individuals affected by drug misuse:

• Legal Advice: Provides access to legal professionals who offer advice and representation tailored to the needs of those affected by drug misuse.
• Advocacy: Engages in advocacy efforts to promote health and human rights, focusing on drug policy reform and harm reduction.
• Educational Resources: Offers comprehensive resources on understanding drug-related legal issues and navigating the challenges of drug misuse.
