Substance Misuse Strategy
The Tower Hamlets Combating Drugs Partnership substance misuse strategy (2024 to 2027) highlights our vision to tackle substance misuse over the next four years. It shows our high level priorities for action.
It will also be accompanied by yearly delivery plans. We have partnered with the NHS, Metropolitan Police, London Community Rehabilitation Company, London Fire Brigade.
Those involved across the voluntary sector include residents, LGBT Forum, Interfaith Forum and people who use drug and alcohol support services.

Our vision
To reduce drug and alcohol related harms to individuals, families and communities in Tower Hamlets and to enable more residents to recover from problematic substance misuse.
We will do this by focusing on three priority areas:
- breaking drug supply chains
- deliver a world-class treatment and recovery system
- achieve a generational shift in the demand for drugs.
In addition to the work contained within our current strategy, Tower Hamlets CDP recognises that poverty, unemployment and social deprivation are significant risk factors that can lead to problematic or dependent forms of substance misuse.
Member organisations' policies and strategies which tackle these wider determinants of health are therefore also key to this strategy’s success.
