Big news: Release × The People's Letters (formerly Scarlett Letters) (TPL) are joining forces at 395 Cambridge Heath Road

We're joining forces and opening a shared space for harm reduction, radical literature and collective care, run by and for communities pushed to the margins: sex workers, queer & trans people, migrants, and people who use drugs.

Affordable space is scarce, but solidarity isn’t. This partnership grew from shared politics and community care.

We are moving the Harm Reduction Hub here - expanding our naloxone & safer supplies distribution, legal support and the provision of a welcoming community space for all.

Follow us and visit our websites to learn more! On instagram, we are @/release_rugs and @/peoplesletters Our websites are peoplesletters.org and release.org.uk

You can come shop at TPL and get a peek  of the space any day of the week now, 11 am to 7 pm. From the 3rd of November, the Hub will  operate Mon-Thurs 2-5 pm and Saturday 4-7 pm.

We are also both fundraising to support our expansion in 395 - On 22/11 The People's Letters (formerly Scarlett Letters) will be hosting a fun night of drag and music at Piehouse Co-op (SE8 5HD) On 06/12 Release will be dancing the night away, 10 PM til late at VFD (N16 7XB)
