Welcome to

CHEMSAFE
SPACE

An evolving digital resource supporting individuals and communities engaging in chemsex

We currently have a NEW opportunity to have your voice heard and to influence work and support others in the recovery community!!

​

We are developing a formal LERO (lived experience recovery organisation) with YOU at the centre and leading it.

 

We are looking for a great range of people to get involved in this project in any way they feel would benefit themselves and the community. You all have experience to share and opinions to bring. 

 

There will be chance to get training, grow skills, support others and have both fun and rewarding experiences along the way. 

 

We will have a series of community consultations starting in January and a group of volunteers who will oversee

these consultations. If you are interested in getting involved in any way then please reach out to our email: chemsex@lgbt.foundation to find out more about LERO.

Our blog will feature drug alerts, chemsex information, new ideas, and opinion and experience pieces. Our first post covers synthetic opioids in ketmaine, and accessing free drug testing strips to stay safe. Want to contribute? Get in touch and get involved! 

The new chemsex triage pathway is a collaboration between LGBT Foundation and The REACH. It allows quicker access (within 24 hours!) to the most suitable chemsex support for each individual in Manchester.

Chemsafe.Space in partnership with:

Chemsafe Space has been established following the recent findings from research conducted by Manchester Metropolitan University. It has also been co-produced by, and designed in consultation with, those with lived experience of the “Chemsex Scene” here in Greater Manchester.

This space has been created to bring together all the relevant information for any person using drugs in a sexualized context in Greater Manchester who may be looking for further information, advice or support.
 

Chemsafe Space will be continually developed to ensure new and correct information is shared. If you find a broken link or something that seems out of date please report this to us at Recovery@LGBT.Foundation.


 
If you would like to contribute information or support, share your experience or ask a question please email on the above address.
