Our Services
At Harbour, we offer a wide range of compassionate, trauma-informed services for people affected by drug and alcohol use. Whether you’re looking to reduce harm, begin recovery, or support someone you care about, we can support you.
we are here to help
Our mission is to deliver support to individuals affected by substance use, creating safe spaces for healing, recovery and connection to thrive.
We recognise that substance use is a global issue shaped by trauma, inequality, and systemic factors, and we work to challenge stigma and reduce harm as both an independent charity and in collaboration with partners.
OUR MISSION
Our Vision
We envision a world where people who use drugs and alcohol are treated with dignity, not shame; where stigma is replaced with understanding; and where everyone has access to the compassionate support they need to heal, thrive, and make empowered choices.
Within our organisation, we strive to build a strong, collaborative team that upholds these values in our work, our partnerships, and how we care for one another. We strive to build a culture where every staff member feels a sense of belonging, support, and shared purpose.
If you’re worried about your drug use, or someone else’s, Harbour provides free, confidential support. Our team can help you understand your options, reduce harm, and explore treatment plans tailored to your needs. You don’t need to be ready to stop using altogether – we’re here to meet you where you’re at.
DRUGS
Alcohol use can affect people in very different ways. Whether you're trying to cut down or feeling out of control, our alcohol team offers practical support, brief interventions, group sessions, and access to detox if needed. We’re here to help you take the next step, whatever that looks like.
ALCOHOL
Harm reduction means safer use, better choices, and access to tools and information that reduce risk. From needle exchange to blood-borne virus testing, we offer services grounded in evidence, dignity and care. We believe in empowering people to stay safe without judgement.
Harm Reduction
Naloxone is a life-saving medication that temporarily reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. We provide free Naloxone kits and training to anyone who might need it – including friends, family members and members of the public. Training only takes a few minutes, and it could save a life.
Naloxone
Overdose can happen to anyone. We offer advice and education to help you recognise the signs, reduce your risk, and respond confidently in a crisis. Whether you're a service user, a parent, or part of the community, we’re here to help you feel prepared and informed.
Overdosing
Substance use affects the whole family. Our specialist team supports parents and caregivers with a compassionate, non-judgemental approach. We help rebuild relationships, improve parenting capacity, and reduce risks to children. We work with early years services and safeguarding teams where needed.
