For the first time in a long time, the sun is actually shining outside SIH's headquarters, and not only that, but it almost feels warm when one walks outside, so with all this warm weather must come new life, and new life comes from...to protect yourselves against unplanned pregnancies, check out our condom scheme (see below) or have a look into Long Acting Reversible Contraception with your doctor or nurse (or on our website).
We've finished our mad month of promotion (which does NOT mean we're going to go away). We visited a total of 10 locations in February, we spent a whole week at 4YP, launching the condom scheme (which was such a good experience for us). Remember guys, if you are one of the lucky few with the new key-fob C-Card, it is only for use at 4YP (Suffolk Young People's Health Project); everywhere else on the scheme will be upgrading to the new system soon. Please remember that you should always be using condoms for sex (whatever kind of sex!) to protect yourselves from STIs - condoms and oral dams are the ONLY method of protection against STIs, for more info on where to get your free condoms, click here. It was a fun month, but utterly exhausting, so we'll slow down for a few weeks now!
Having said that, we will be around, so if you see our stand (pictures of us on this blog from John West, who interviewed Ella for ICR on Friday!), and you want top know anything about the services available to, or have a query or comment to make, or are between 16 & 24 and want to do a chlamydia test, come and see us in confidence!
The other great thing about outreach work (aside from our "clients") is meeting people who run the charitable organisations, or youth projects, or wellbeing events. So thanks to all the great people we've met out & about over the last couple of months (sorry if I leave anyone out!) Out & About Trust, 4YP, Suffolk Human Libraries, Bury Rugby Club, CSV & ICR to name but a few...
