A new lifesaving delivery service for overdose kits has been launched in North East Lincolnshire, aiming to address a deadly surge in synthetic and contaminated drug deaths.

The North East Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership is now providing naloxone—a crucial emergency medication that can instantly reverse opioid overdoses and save lives—directly to those in need.

This initiative comes as Grimsby faces a growing crisis, with four people having died and at least a dozen more hospitalised due to dangerous drug incidents.
