Overdose Prevention Scheme Gives Users Shopping Vouchers

VIDEO – BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY –

Oct. 5, 2022 – One of the voucher recipients is Kevin Whittaker, 44. He’s been using class-A drugs since his late 30s.

He said: “I’ll see what shop I’m passing at the time and see what I can get with the money. It’s £20 for nothing.”

The former salesman said he was “tired of the lifestyle” of taking drugs.

“It’s getting me nowhere and it’s causing me problems,” he said. “Nobody likes getting up in the morning and wondering where the next £20 is coming from.

“It’s just a constant chase.”
