Is thankful for Reading Safe Space. It has been so good to have a place that we can call our base along with First Stop. It’s been great for both initiatives to be under one roof working together with other partners. @ReadingBID @TVP_Reading @SCAS999 @ReadingCouncil

[FIRST Stop @firststopteam]

Very busy night for the Paramedics & First Stop volunteers. Seven people seen at the Safe Space last night. People supported in getting safely home & one person received stitching for a minor wound. As always great partnership working.

NTIA Welcomes Home Office News to restart Back of House Drug testing at festivals for 2024 season

Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association, welcomed the news today from the Home Office to restart back of house drug testing at festivals. This is a result of the great work and perseverance of Sacha Lord and the NTIA in advocating for this crucial public safety measure, "The reinstatement of back of house drug testing facilities by the home office is a significant step in the harm reduction strategy for festivals across the UK. These facilities play a vital role in safeguarding attendees and proactively informing them of potential harms," Kill stated, emphasising the importance of this initiative for the upcoming festival season.
