Since the launch to date, we have provided a total of 650 testing kits to 200 venues across the city, able to detect 18 different substances. Alongside testing kits, we have also provided venues with a drink spiking procedure guide to train staff, and campaign materials to display in their venues. The initiative has provided 800 urine testing kits to Avon and Somerset Police that allow for testing up to 48 hours after the incident has occurred. To request drink spiking test kits for your venue or for queries about the campaign, please get in touch at drinkspiking@bristolcitycentrebid.co.uk.

Together with our partners, we’ve conducted round table discussions to analyse the project’s impact and make  necessary improvements. We have received feedback from various local and national stakeholders, commending the project’s effectiveness in addressing drink spiking issues and promoting a safer Bristol.
