Our Festival Team were located next to the Festival Welfare Services, a great place to provide on-site support to those needing a rest or looking for advice. Our team had lots of positive engagement all throughout the weekend, talking to the festival-goers and giving out practical harm-reduction advice and resources.

Love Saves The Day marks the beginning of our summer festival outreach. Look out for us next at St Paul's Carnival and Bristol Pride Day.
