Drugs and Alcohol Awareness Drop In

The SU and University believe in a harm reduction approach to drug and alcohol use. By partnering with local specialists from the Charity Turning Point,  we're working to reduce the risks associated with drugs and alcohol, promoting a community where everyone feels safe and tragedies are avoided. 

Every Thursday, experts from Turning Point will be in the Student Union 1 East Corridor (accessible from the staircase outside the library) to offer a wide range of help with drug and alcohol issues. You can drop by and ask a question, discover how to access support off campus or inquire about reagent drug testing kits. These kits work by changing colour when a certain substance is present, creating a simple and fast way to determine if a substance matches the presumed identity. You don't need to give your name and Turning Point won't share information about your discussion with the University or SU.

If you don't want to talk on campus, call the Turning Point Team on 01225 342052 or drop-in to their office at The Beehive, Beehive Yard, BA1 5BT (9am-5pm Monday-Friday). 

Neither the SU, University nor Turning Point condone the possession, supply or use of illegal drugs. You can read more about the SU approach in this link to the drug harm reduction statement.
