about us

Welcome to the Ana Liffey Drug Project web site. The Ana Liffey Drug Project is a ‘Low Threshold - Harm Reduction’ drug project based in North Inner City Dublin.

OUR VISION

Our vision is that everyone affected by problem substance use has the right to health, dignity and respect.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to work with people affected by problem substance use - to reduce harm, improve overall quality of life and promote human rights.

OUR VALUES

The ALDP aims to enable people to reduce the harm that problem substance use causes:
- We neither promote nor denounce problem substance use.
- We believe in the importance of journeying with people.
- We recognise the potential of the people we work with.
- We aim to provide evidence based responses.
- We are committed to innovation.
- We believe in development.

The ALDP is pragmatic:

• We turn words into actions.
• We take and manage risks.
• What matters is what we do.
• We do what we say we will do.

The ALDP believes in rights and responsibilities:

• We believe that people have fundamental rights.
• We believe that with rights go responsibilities.
• We treat all of the people who use our services with respect.

The ALDP aims to take a wider role in society:

• We believe in partnership.
• We aim to be open and accountable.
• We strive to be a quality led organisation.
• We have a local, national and international perspective.

For the purposes of the ALDP's Vision, 'health' is not the absence of illness - we refer to health in the context of the 'Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion'. This charter clearly states that the fundamental conditions and resources for health are peace, shelter, education, food, income, sustainable resources, social justice, and equity.
