ONS reports 5,519 drug-poisoning deaths registered in England and Wales in 2025. The registered rate fell slightly, while the 2024 occurrence rate was unchanged from 2023.

This Thursday, we are drug checking in #Ealing
How does it work?
1. Surrender a substance
2. Tell us what you think it is & about your drug use
3. We do lab tests inc. a test for synthetic opioids
4. After ~1 hour, we have results & can give honest advice
