Drive Project

DRIVE (Drug Related Intimidation & Violence Engagement) is an interagency project in Ireland dedicated to addressing drug-related intimidation and associated violence. Funded by the Department of Health, DRIVE aims to support victims and empower communities across the country to respond effectively to these issues.

The project provides tailored training, resources, and connections to local support services for victims of drug-related intimidation. By leveraging the expertise of individuals with lived experience and other professionals, DRIVE ensures non-judgmental, confidential assistance for victims, whether they are drug users or family members.

Managed by the DRIVE Oversight Committee, comprising members from law enforcement, healthcare, and community organizations, the project is supported by various partners. Through its governance structures and dedicated staff, DRIVE offers a pathway to support services for both service providers and victims of intimidation, fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all.
