Stamp Out Spiking (SOS) - the UK's leading charity dedicated to ending drink spiking. Drink spiking is a calculated, often premeditated crime, and it’s far more common than most people realise.
Victims are left traumatised, disbelieved, and in some cases seriously harmed – yet spiking remains poorly understood, rarely prosecuted, and dangerously underreported.
It affects people of all genders, in every kind of setting – from clubs and pubs to festivals, house parties, and even student halls.

2026 Session from SOS
No single organisation can tackle spiking alone. Effective safeguarding depends on shared responsibility and consistent practice across venues, events and the wider community. In this session, Dawn Dines shares a partnership-led approach that helps organisations align training, messaging and response pathways across teams and local partners, creating a consistent standard that is practical to implement and maintain.
The session will also cover Stamp Out Spiking £1 Challenge, a simple way for organisations to involve employees and create measurable impact by pledging £1, with options for staff to choose to Educate, Protect or Frontline, funding practical training, drink-protection tools and frontline insight that strengthens prevention and response.
