Awards praise for drug agency

LOTHIANS Labour MSP Kezia Dugdale has tabled a motion in the Scottish Parliament congratulating Capital-based drugs agency Crew 2000 on winning the 2012 Impact Gold Champions award, recognising excellence in community healthcare.

The motion hails Crew 2000 as one of the leading charities in Scotland offering drugs counselling and support services, points out it has doubled in size since it won a similar award in 2008 and praises its “innovative and creative approach” to reducing the harm caused by drugs in communities.
