@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 ❤️

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!

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...

✊ 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.
