Across the UK, there has been a rise in many illicit drugs, not just opioids, being contaminated with nitazenes.

Nitazenes are synthetic opioids that can be up to 500 times more potent than other opioids.

If you use any drugs, or know someone who does, it is important to be aware of the risks, know how to keep yourself and others safe, and what to do if things go wrong.

Our pioneering ‘New York’ style approach to tackling homelessness is expanding, with an additional ten places now being offered. The Housing First initiative was initially piloted in Bradford in 2018, to support people across the district who have the most complex needs and who have histories of repeat homelessness.

It’s based on an international model, first developed in New York, which is widely regarded as one of the solutions to street homelessness and has had a big impact in Finland, where it has cut homelessness by 70 per cent since 2007. Rather than the traditional approach, which is often to place rough sleepers in hostels, Housing First provides people with their own home and tenancy, with intensive open-ended support. It aims to give people back control of their own lives and having a stable home provides them with an environment from which to tackle their challenges.

Bradford Council will work in partnership with the Bridge Project and Waythrough to deliver the programme over the next three years, with the additional capacity to increase support from 30 people to 40.
