This presentation was delivered to the National Needle Exchange Forum meeting in Bournemouth. I was talking about the Harm Reduction Cafe community project that I’ve developed as part of my job with HIT.

He particularly enjoys working non-exploitively with groups that are traditionally stigmatised and marginalised.
