Anything But Safe

Project Map
The Southern Regional Drugs Task Force was established under the National Drugs Strategy 2001 -2008 to work with communities who are experiencing issues of drug and alcohol misuse, in counties Cork & Kerry (not Cork City, where there is a Local Drugs Task Force), and to support projects in these communities which address identified need.

 The TAsk Force is now responsible for delivering the National Drugs Strategy 2009-2016.



Joomla! LogoThe Task Force operates using Partnership Principles and has membership from the statutory, voluntary and community sectors alongside public representatives. The SRDTF employs a coordinator (Chris Black) and a Development Worker (Gordon Kinsley) who are employed to oversee the implementation of a Regional Strategy.  The Coordinator is employed by the HSE but reports to the Chairperson of the Task Force (Peadar King) for day to day operations

The Task Force has a number of sub committees which are:  

These Sub-groups are:
  • Management Committee (Executive)    srdtf
  • Prevention and Education
  • Treatment and Rehabilitation


In addition to the above, there is also a Small Grants sub-committee.

The Task Force meets on a regular basis throughout the year, bringing together a wide range of knowledge and expertise, to discuss issues of drugs and alcohol in the region and to oversee the implementation of the Strategic Plan, including approval of projects to be funded, identification of gaps and to feed into any relevant policy papers.

Funding for the Task Force is provided by the Office for the Minister of Drugs, located within the Dept of Community Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.


Details of the projects currently funded can be seen within the website.  Whilst these projects have been identified in the Strategic Plan, the Task Force are happy to receive “expressions of interest” from communities, treatment centres, youth organisations etc… who may have an innovative approach to dealing with the issue of drugs and alcohol in their own area.
