Here’s what @bdpbristol.bsky.social gets up to festivals. Thanks to Love Saves The Day for having us and great to be alongside @theloopuk.bsky.social providing back of house testing.
I hadn’t seen this! Love it ❤️
@bdpbristol.bsky.social first Queer sober night, in collaboration with Bristol Sober Queers. 2 bands, one drag king and a DJ. Changing your relationships with substances doesn’t have to be boring or mean losing your connection with your community ❤️
Thanks Mat. Glad everyone has stayed safe so far
Great that you managed to get a batch tested. We haven’t heard anything adverse in Bristol but be v grateful if you’d share the intel if it’s anything we should worry about (re supply etc)?
Looking forward to @bdpbristol.bsky.social spring show. Always life affirming. Always great music. And this time there’ll be a Rage Against the Machine cover. Come and support
Great to see some really sensible recommendations in here- a public health focused and compassionate approach
It’s dystopian
Our next Street drugs discussions will be on nitazenes. Friday 21st Feb at 12PM, all free. See u there & bring your Qs! @drugscience.bsky.social
It’s a lot of naloxone yellow in one pic 😂
I like the jumper but what does that say about me?! 😅
So excited that Bristol Poet Sukina Noor has chosen @bdpbristol.bsky.social to collaborate with as part of her official role. She is passionate about writing as therapy, making sure poetry is accessible to all communities and the power of being in a group. We feel honoured!
The Loop is providing public #drugchecking in Bristol this Saturday.
Free, friendly & focused #harmreduction!

Amazing news- that’s a super impressive number
It's very frustrating to see the UK govt still championing drug criminalisation despite clear evidence that it fails to reduce use or deter crime. The UK must align with UN recommendations and adopt a rights-based approach rooted in science & public health. bbc.com/news/article...
Still a few tickets 💃🏻
My book club just finished “yellowface”. A pretty easy read and resulted in a good discussion!
Using drugs doesn’t make people less worthy of having a roof to live under. Housing promotes health, stability, safety and dignity.

Great round up of some of the things BDP are most proud of this year: www.bdp.org.uk/bristol-drug...
I thought this was a really great piece- nice to see something about G that’s not sensationalised
✊ yes! BDP’s health and harm reduction centre has continued to keep HR services separate, despite the trends for integrated services over the year. NSP, access to a nurse, drug checking once a month with @theloopuk.bsky.social and of course, a cup of coffee and a warm chat.
Looking forward to @bdpbristol.bsky.social hosting this event. The drugs market is rapidly changing and we need to keep finding ways of engaging new groups of people in harm reduction practices. Please share with your network

Thanks Cara- it was great to have you on the panel. We need the passion and commitment that you bring!
Nearly 2 years ago to the day, Bristol was announced as the UK's Harm Reduction City. Looking forward to hosting this panel today to explore what this means in practice.
Thanks for organising and hosting Deb. I had such a great time and went home feeling emotional but inspired ❤️
SIPs can be distributed but they require a letter of comfort from police force. BDP are distributing and i know a number of other services are. Needless barriers in place
