This autumn, 29 September to 7 October, is the Week of Action on drug policy reform. Transform Drug Policy Foundation and Anyone’s Child Families for Safer Drug Control have organised a series of events across Bristol so that you can join one of the biggest conversations about drugs that our community has ever seen.

We are standing up to the “war on drugs” to protect our community from harm and save lives today.

Here’s how you can get involved:
