CVF Forum - Response to Growing Harms

Your voice is vital.

We are calling on VCFSE organisations across Wirral to join us for this important event. Your insight, experience, and direct connection to communities are essential in shaping how we respond to the growing harms linked to drug use, alcohol, tobacco, and gambling.

At this session, we will:

• Share the latest picture of substance use and related harms in Wirral, giving you a clear and up‑to‑date understanding of the challenges facing our communities.
• Work together to identify more effective ways to communicate vital information through your trusted networks.
• Build simple, meaningful feedback channels so your organisations can directly inform Public Health and community drug and alcohol services—ensuring your voice helps shape what works, what needs to change, and what could be improved.



This is more than an update—it is an opportunity to strengthen collaboration. By improving how we communicate and work together, we can ensure that essential education, harm prevention, and harm reduction messages reach the communities who need them most.

Your participation will make a genuine difference.
