Late Night Do It Right promotes UWE’s harm reduction approach to drug and alcohol use. We aim to inform students about how to practice a safe night-out culture!

Late Night Do It Right changed this year. Instead of attending club nights until the early hours, we visited UWE students' accommodation in Bristol city centre, specifically Blenheim Court, Nelson and Drake House, and Marketgate.

How did it work?

1. We chatted with students before they started drinking, giving them tools to measure their drinks, as well as advice and information on staying safe on a night out
2. We gave away Domino's pizzas, knowing that eating before drinking is an important intervention for lasting through the night. Providing students with a couple of slices of pizza was a great way to line their stomachs.
3. We spoke to students about UWE’s Drug and Alcohol Service to ensure they were aware of the support available for them and their peers.
4. Students were given spikeys, unit measuring cups, condoms, and information leaflets on the Bristol Rules from our LNDIR Hubs in the common rooms of the halls of residence!

Late Night Do It Right 2024 handed out 800 slices of pizza, 1,000 condoms, 82 spikeys, and 272 alcohol volume cups, along with a range of leaflets, including a QR code linking to UWE Bristol’s Drugs and Alcohol Service.

Students refer to Late Night Do It Right as "heaven," a "saviour," and something "really useful." It’s a sign that you should learn more about harm reduction, whether for yourself, a family member, or even a friend. Everyone benefits from being educated on safe night-out practices — you never know, you might save a life.
