📣 New Campaign Launch:

Understanding the Effects of Ketamine Use

We are excited to launch our brand-new campaign, highlighting the risks and realities of use. Our aim is to challenge the misconceptions that ketamine only becomes a problem when use reaches the “extreme”, and to ensure people know that support is available.

🔍 Why this campaign matters:

Recent figures show that in 2024/25, ketamine use among young people aged 16–24 was more common than M**A and nitrous oxide. Services across the country continue to raise concerns about the rise in both physical and social harms linked directly to ketamine use.

🎥 We encourage you to watch the film and take a moment to consider the risks.

If you're worried about your own ketamine use—or someone else’s— please reach out.

📞 Call New Vision Bradford: 01274 296023
📧 Email: info@newvisionbradford.org.uk

You’re not alone. We’re here to support you and your loved ones.

Know the risks. Know what you’re taking. Don’t ignore the signs.

We were delighted to honour their dedication, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to keeping people safe.

When the days are shorter and nights longer, you might feel discourage to keep up your usual activities or some may come to an end.
