The leaders of Scotland's two main political parties will today (Monday) meet at a recovery group in Glasgow.
Douglas Ross and Nicola Sturgeon will visit Bluevale Community Club in Haghill to discuss Scotland's drug death crisis.
The organisation's founder, Kenny Trainer, has asked for politicians to put their differences aside and work together to start saving lives.
Bluevale helps over 1000 households every year through its sports, youth, elderly and community work.
The community club is seeking government funding to maintain its voluntary services and start to expand to deliver a whole-systems approach to tackling poverty and drug deaths.
Ahead of Monday's visit, Scottish Conservative Leader Douglas Ross has appealed for the government to back the Right to Recovery Bill, which would guarantee treatment for anyone who needs it.
Scottish Conservative Leader Douglas Ross said: “Scotland’s drug death crisis is our national shame. It demands political leadership.
“Communities scarred by drugs need action, not more empty words. This visit must result in solutions, not more of the same.
"Frontline experts and families who have lost loved ones back our Right to Recovery Bill. We need the government to come onboard.
"Our Bill would cut through the broken treatment system and guarantee people can get the help they need. It would mean more support for frontline community projects like Bluevale, who have helped hundreds of people without any government funding.
"I want to directly appeal to Nicola Sturgeon - put the politics aside, back our Bill, and let's finally give people in our communities hope that things will get better."
Kenneth Trainer, Manager of Bluevale Community Club, said: "We welcome the visit by Scotland’s two main political leaders today to see first-hand not only what we are trying to achieve here at Bluevale Community Club but also meet the people who remind us daily why we do it.
"We ask that all parties, and both governments, put their political differences aside and agree on how we can tackle Scotland’s problems not just at a national level, but how this looks locally, for local people.
"We must ensure that any investment is reaching the people who need it, in the heart of our communities, this is where it will make the biggest impact. Bluevale Community Club is a local response to local issues, led by the community itself - but clubs like ours cannot operate on a hand to mouth basis, investment is needed”.
Commenting on the Right to Recovery Bill proposal, Mr Trainer added: “We have seen too many friends and family members die while seeking, sometimes begging, for access to the help they needed and wanted – help that never came. That’s why we back the principles in the proposed Bill and any other true rights-based approach to drug and alcohol treatment. Some of our friends may still be alive if such a right was extended to them”.
