⚠️Drug Alert from Leeds⚠️

The best way to stay safe is to not use at all - but if you are using, please remember the following tips:

✅Start low and slow: Begin with just a quarter dose of new supplies.
✅Never use alone: Always ensure someone is nearby.
✅Use cautiously in groups: If with others, have only one person try a reduced dose first.
✅Avoid mixing: Combining drugs—including alcohol—raises the risk of overdose.
✅Watch out for signs of overdose: These may include unconsciousness, shallow breathing, “snoring” or rasping sounds, and blue lips or fingers.
✅Be ready to act: Call 999 and request an ambulance without hesitation.
✅Stay equipped: Carry multiple Naloxone kits. Contact us if you need one.

🎪Heading to Creamfields this weekend?🎪

Here's some things to keep in mind 🤔

♡ Creamfields offer drug testing & will be posting updates to their instagram if they find anything of concern

♡ If choosing to use and you don't feel right, visit the welfare tent! The drug & alcohol workers are there to help you. They offer non-judgmental support and will care for you until you are ready to return to the festival/support you to get home safely.

♡ Start low & go slow - it's easy to get caught up in the atmosphere of a festival.

♡ Stick with your friends & don't be afraid to get help if you really need it!
