On November 10th 2025, ILLY hosted their Annual Commissioner’s Forum, with over 100 participants from across the Substance Misuse and public health sector, and we are delighted to share some of the highlights with you!
The topic for this year was “Bridging the Gap: Meeting the Needs of Underserved Groups” – and we were extremely privileged to be joined by three knowledgeable and passionate speakers who kindly shared some of the innovative work that they are doing across their areas to address the underserved needs of vulnerable groups.
It is only through collaboration and the sharing of ideas that we can continue to work together and drive positive change. The inspiring presentations underscored the achievements that can be made when innovation and collaboration come together.
Here are some of the highlights from the day that we hope will engage, inspire and spark new ideas as we move toward the New Year:
