We will provide #HarmReduction each day Body&Soul this weekend 🪩 This will include our 'back of house' drug checking to identify emerging drug trends. We will share updates on social media and festival screens if we find drugs that pose an extra threat to health.

Out of the closet, into the streets 📢 I cannot emphasise how upset I am that the Cork LGBTQ+ Community is being treated in this manner. UCCSU will not stand for this rebranding in the name of “freshers week” - queer students exist and we represent them too. ✊🏽🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🚨!!
