Introduction to Exchange Supplies
We’ve written this section of the website to describe what Exchange Supplies is all about and give you the 'what happened, when and why', and explain the philosophy that drives us.
If you’ve got a short attention span, or don’t need the fine detail, maybe all you need to know is that we're a social enterprise that is the UK's leading supplier of injecting equipment, and drug information.
We are unique in that our origins lie in the provision of healthcare, and we are committed to developing the harm reduction response to drug use. Our customers buy from us because of our products, prices, service and ethos. Thanks to the support of our customers we've been able to develop a world leading catalogue of products designed to reduce drug related harm, and with continued support we hope to be able to continue to lead the way in working with the drugs field, and drug users, to prevent drug related deaths and illness.
You might want to go straight to:
- Directions (if you’re coming to see us down here in deepest Dorset :-).
But if you’ve got a long attention span, and want more there's articles about:
- ‘Vision’, ‘mission' and ‘values' statements (...we know that talking about vision, mission and values sounds like a load of transatlantic ‘management speak’, but all the ‘how to be a good company’ text books say you should have them, and, although we hate to admit it, they have been useful in helping us stay focussed and get stuff done, so we thought you’d like to see them).
