Drugs project marks 20 years

A south Wales drugs initiative that started with a donated telephone in the back office of a community centre is marking its 20th anniversary.
Swansea Drugs Project (SAND) has grown from humble beginnings into one of the country's busiest and most respected schemes.

On Tuesday workers will spend another day on the streets, providing information, advice and fact sheets from a mobile stand based on Oxford Street.

Project deputy director Gill Burton said those who helped establish SAND all those years ago could not have imagined the scale of the drug problem in Swansea and across Wales today.
