Glenside SU Advice Pod
As part of our commitment to harm reduction, we are partnering with Bristol Drugs Project to host a number of pop-ups on Bower Ashton and Frenchay Campus giving out free testing kits and talking to students about testing substances at home. You'll also be able to get harm reduction support, advice and guidance.
You can drop into one of our sessions which will run between 11:00-15:00 on Glenside Campus in the SU.
The appointments will be around 30 minutes, depending on how many questions you may have! These will all be facilitated by the drop and will remain totally confidential.
At the appointment, they will ask you about your experience with taking drugs and testing them and they will show you how to use your new reagent kit and offer you advice on how to interpret the result and the risks associated. These kits will be offered for students to take home and use - please do not bring your drugs onto campus to test.
