KNITTING AND CROCHET AFTERNOON WITH STUDENT LIFE (23/06/2026, 13:30)

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 11:31:25 +0100

WHAT TO EXPECT:

For beginners or advanced crafters

Join student life for our very popular craft event of Knitting and Crochet.

Bring your own project or come and try out a new skill - all abilities welcome!

Come and join us - it's FREE - and we will supply the equipment

Did you know...

Knitting and crochet can reduce anxiety and release serotonin - precise handwork occupies the brain enough to take our minds off the source of our anxiety. It creates a sense of calm, much like meditation. Mindful activities can help you stay in the present and give you greater focus. The rhythmic, repetitive motions of yarn crafts can also release serotonin, which is a natural analgesic and antidepressant associated with feelings of happiness.
Yarn engages multiple senses - yarn is colourful, squishy, and soft. It can be smooth, it can be fuzzy, it can have sparkles in it. While looking at it, you get the benefits of colour therapy. While working with it, you might feel the relaxing sensation that comes with petting a kitten or a puppy. Visual and tactile stimuli can prompt the release of dopamine. Dopamine is a feel-good neurotransmitter and is associated with feelings of reward, motivation, and productivity.
Making art can lower cortisol levels and boost confidence - Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone. Constant high levels of cortisol can lead to anxiety, depression, heart disease, and issues with sleep, digestion, memory and concentration. Making art and expressing your creativity can help reduce cortisol levels, lowering stress but also a host of other potential health risks. The mental health benefits of knitting and crocheting can also improve your physical health.

PEOPLE'S EMERGENCY BRIEFING - Business Leaders Screening (15/05/2026, 08:30)

Wed, 13 May 2026 09:42:40 +0100

WHEN:

Friday 15th May from 8:30am-11am

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Join us for a community screening of the National Emergency Briefing film followed by a panel discussion.

In November 2025, the National Emergency Briefing brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to politicians and influential figures in Westminster. That evidence is now publicly available, and it reveals a crisis more serious and immediate than many realise.

This 50-minute film combines authoritative scientific content from the Westminster event with personal reactions from members of the public and familiar voices. It delivers frank facts about the threats facing every constituency in the UK, from health and food systems to infrastructure, security, and economic stability. Importantly, it also highlights the enormous benefits of bold, urgent government action, offering a pathway to a better future.

The film is supported by a wide range of organisations including the National Trust, Church of England, Exeter University, Royal Meteorological Society, WWF, and the National Education Union. Its non-partisan purpose is to foster informed democratic discussion and ensure Parliament and the public share a common understanding of the scale and urgency of this challenge.

Many viewers have shared that while the facts are alarming, the film inspires optimism about confronting the crisis together.

The panel will explore what the evidence means for businesses locally, including risks, responsibilities and opportunities for leadership. Speakers include:

Luke McCullough, Senior Public Policy Manager at Aviva
Professor Emma Howard Boyd, Chair of the National Heat Risk Commission and former Chair of the London Climate Resilience Review commissioned by the Mayor of London

About the Screening Programme
Each community screening is followed by a structured, locally focused discussion guided by the NEB team. These conversations remain constructive and solution-oriented, helping people process the information emotionally and engage meaningfully. By bringing communities and decision-makers together around the same evidence, the programme aims to spark informed dialogue at local and national levels.

Event Schedule:

8.30 am: Business breakfast and refreshments (Room 3X110)
9.00 am: Film screening (45 minutes, Room 2X242)
9.45 am: Panel discussion (45 minutes)
10.30 am: Networking

What are the events?

Our mission is simple - to host regular, high quality and affordable live events that are drug and alcohol free. BSS is a collaboration between BDP, Not Saints, and the broader Bristol recovery and sober communities. We are supported by the National Lottery, Not Saints, BDP and Bristol City Council.

Who can attend?

Our events are for anyone who wants go to a sober event, for whatever reason. Whether you've chosen a sober life, are in recovery, don’t drink for cultural, religious or health reasons, or if you're just not fussed if there’s alcohol on sale, then Sober Spaces is here for you.

Why Sober Spaces?

We are part of a growing world wide movement towards normalising drug and alcohol free events. Since 2020, there has been a huge rise in the low to no alcohol drinks market, coinciding with more awareness of the need for safe and inclusive spaces, and the rise of the sober curious movement.

Our events are great nights out in themselves, with the added benefits of not having a hangover, saving money, engaging with music and performance with a straight head, and feeling connected to a supportive community.

How can I get involved?

If you're interested in getting involved with our community, you can attend our events, sign up for our newsletter, perform at an event, or get involved behind the scenes.

City Centre Drug Checking - The Loop (27/06/2026, 12:00)

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 16:03:20 Z

When: 12:00 - 20:00 every last Saturday of the month. Last substances accepted at 7pm.

Where: Bristol Drugs Project, 11 Brunswick Square, St Paul's, Bristol BS2 8PE

The Loop's regular drug checking service, the first in the UK, takes place every last Saturday of the month in Bristol. The Loop team, chemists and healthcare staff, complete drug testing in our mobile laboratory and provide harm reduction advice and consultations informed by the testing of submitted substances. Everyone is welcome to use the service and to drop-in to meet and speak with The Loop. These sessions are anonymous, non-judgemental and free.

Why?

All drug use carries risk.

The risk is currently heightened due to concerns about synthetic substances unknowingly being missold and consumed. This service informs national and local stakeholders about dangerous substances in circulation while informing public messaging, drug alerts and other early warning systems.

In line with current government policy, The Loop Bristol Drug Checking Service is focused on those at the greatest risk of harm – people with dependent drug use.

The Loop Drug Checking Service will provide individually tailored healthcare consultations to people with dependent drug use which discuss relative risks, harm reduction strategies and signposting to further drug treatment and health services.

Virtual Epilepsy Education Part 2- for Student Nurses and Midwives (11/03/2026, 10:00)

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 14:11:27 Z

Epilepsy Action is hosting virtual events for Student Nurses and Midwives! Since epilepsy often isn’t covered enough at university, we’re offering sessions designed to boost confidence, build knowledge, and help future healthcare professionals feel prepared to support people with epilepsy. Perfect for students at any stage of their studies. We’ll be running two events, repeated twice throughout the year:

We know at Epilepsy Action epilepsy care isn’t always built into your nursing or midwifery training curriculum.Join us for a free practical 90-minute session designed specifically for student nurses and student midwives, where you'll hear about the lived experiences of people with epilepsy and share the best practice of how to care for them in your role as a nurse and or midwife. The speakers have an extensive knowledge and experience of working in a nursing or midwifery role and will share their experiences when caring for a person with epilepsy.

What You’ll Gain:

A clear understanding of the pathway to becoming an ESN
Insight into the roles, responsibilities, and impact of the ESN role
Information on career progression, training routes, and accreditation
Guidance on professional development requirements
First-hand experiences from practicing Epilepsy Specialist Nurses

Why Attend?

As an ESN, you’ll play a vital role in epilepsy care supporting patients, shaping treatment plans, monitoring medication, and acting as a key link between individuals and the wider healthcare system. This session is your opportunity to explore how you can make a meaningful difference in this specialist field.

When:

Part 2 : The role of the Epilepsy Specialist Nurse : 10AM-12PM 11 March and 1PM - 2PM 6 November

Where:

Online. Reserve your place through Eventbrite.

Virtual Epilepsy Education Part 1 - for Student Nurses and Midwives (03/03/2026, 10:00)

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 13:59:48 Z

What you'll learn:

Seizure Types: Understand the different types of seizures and how they present beyond the textbook.

Myth-Busting: Break down common misconceptions.

Medication: Discover how epilepsy medications work, the potential teratogenic effect of some anti-seizure medications and what side effects to watch for.

First Aid, Safety & SUDEP: Learn lifesaving first aid, safety protocols, and how to reduce the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy.

The importance of Epilepsy Specialist Nurses: Get inspired by the diverse, specialist role of ESNs across patient pathways.

Meet Epilepsy Action: Learn how we support both healthcare professionals and those living with epilepsy and how you can get involved.

Why attend?

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions, yet it’s often overlooked in nursing and midwifery education. Many students leave university knowing very little about the condition, the care it requires, or the specialist roles available in this field.

That’s exactly why you should attend.

Whether you're just starting out or nearing the end of your nursing or midwifery degree, this session will give you the essential, hands-on understanding of epilepsy that every future nurse or midwife should have.

When:

Part 1: The basics of epilepsy: 10AM - 12PM 3 March and 27 October

Where:

Online. Reserve your place through Eventbrite.
