Everyday in the UK people take drugs. Because drugs are illegal, the supply is unregulated meaning there are inconsistenies in quality, strength and purity. This unregulated market puts people at risk. People don’t know what they are putting into their bodies. The Loop exists to change that.

We provide non-judgemental, evidence-based drug checking and harm reduction services, working in partnership with event organisers, local authorities, health services and communities. Our aim is simple, to reduce drug related harm and hopefully, save lives.

When you donate to The Loop, you help us:

  • Deliver on site drug checking services at city centre sites across England

  • Deliver on site back-of-house drug testing at festivals and events

  • Provide tailored harm reduction advice to people who use drugs

  • Alert communities and services to dangerous substances in circulation

  • Train professionals in harm reduction approaches

  • Contribute to research that informs better drug policy

Your support directly strengthens our ability to respond quickly to emerging threats in the drug market and to share lifesaving information with the people who need it most.
