Upcoming 'Sip Safer' spiking prevention workshop

Lancaster University students, and parents and carers of students – this one’s for you!

If you or your child is studying at Lancaster, there’s an important opportunity tomorrow you should know about. We’re working with the Lancashire Violence Reduction Network to bring students ‘Sip Safer’ – a powerful, eye-opening experience designed to tackle the issue of drink and needle spiking.

🎧 This isn’t a lecture. It’s an immersive 60-minute session with silent disco-style headphones, light displays, and real-life stories that help students understand:

📍 Minor Hall (above Grand Hall), Bailrigg, Lancaster LA1 4ZA

📅 Wednesday 5th November 2025

🎟️ Free and open to all Lancaster University students – sign up here: Sip Safer with CounterSpike (spiking prevention workshop) Tickets, Wed, Nov 5, 2025 at 2:00 PM | Eventbrite 

After the session, students can visit support stalls from Lancashire Victim Services, ED Navigators, and Lancashire Police. 

🍻 Plus, they’ll receive a free drink from Lucky Saint to take away.

💙 Encourage your child to go – it could make all the difference on a night out. Let’s make every night out a safe one!
