As Electric Picnic revellers pack up their cars and head for home, thousands of campers are diligently removing their rubbish and leaving their campsites as they found it.

Today our team was at Electric Picnic where they salvaged and collected 160 tents in conjunction with Feed Our Homeless 🙌

The team also collected a number of ground mats which will be distributed to rough sleepers on the streets.

It was an early start this morning so we could get down to the Saftey briefing and get to each campsite to salvage what we could.

Thanks to all festival goers who left there tents at the entrances for each campsite for us.

International Overdose Awareness Day is on the 31st of August each year, and across Ireland communities, health services, family support groups and harm reduction projects mark the day to remember those who have died from overdose, and to acknowledge the grief of their families and friends.🩵💜

The focus is on raising awareness of the risks of overdose, reducing stigma around drug use, promoting harm reduction and naloxone training, and encouraging access to treatment and support services.🩵💜

There is a lot of work that goes on in the background for DHA to keep the operation running smoothly.🙌
