[Pollstar] | Drug checking is just one piece of the jigsaw: Q&A with Fiona Measham
The UK Festival Awards will present this year’s Outstanding Contribution to Festivals Award to Professor Fiona Measham, Chair in Criminology at the University OF Liverpool, academic, author, yoga teacher, salsa dancer, qualified door supervisor, avid club-goer, and founder of The Loop, a non-profit NGO dedicated to reducing the harm caused by drug use at music events and beyond.
The UK Festival Awards jury selected Measham for "her lifelong commitment to equality and social justice causes. Amongst her achievements, she has served on the Government's Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, David Nutt's Drug Science Committee, as well as the Lib Dems’ expert panel on cannabis regulation, and also acted as the key expert witness in the fight to keep Fabric nightclub open."
