Showcase your innovation!
Do you have a project that’s making a real difference in the world of drug and alcohol treatment, recovery, or harm reduction? Whether it’s a bold new idea or a well-established service, Pitch to Your Peers is your chance to share it with the sector — and get valuable feedback, support, and exposure.
Taking place at the DDN Conference 2025 (10 July, Birmingham), this interactive session invites individuals and organisations to present their project in a five-minute pitch to a panel of sector experts — and a live audience of your peers. You’ll have the opportunity to explain what your project does, who it helps, and why it matters. The panel and audience will then put questions to you, offering challenge, encouragement, and insights that could help take your work to the next level.
This is not about polished performances or big budgets — it’s about passion, purpose, and the power of peer learning. Whether you’re looking for collaborators, funding, visibility or just a fresh perspective, this session is a dynamic space to share ideas and spark connections.
The only essential criteria is that this must be a project designed and run by people with lived or living experience.
There may even be a little something extra for the pitch that most captures the spirit of innovation and impact — but you’ll have to wait and see.
If you’d like to take part and pitch your project fill out the form below now!
Spaces are limited and will be allocated in advance.
Let your work be seen. Inspire others. Pitch to Your Peers.
