Who We Are

UISCE is the National Advocacy Service for People who use Drugs in Ireland. UISCE ensures that the human rights of people who use drugs are protected in our laws, policies and services by advocating on behalf of a person or empowering them to self-advocate.

Our main goal is to ensure the human rights of the community of PWUD are protected within services and that the voices of PWUD are heard where decisions that impact their lives are being made.
