Sexual Health Week, Freshers & New Friends!

Whoa.. What a manic couple of weeks it has been here at 'No Risks' HQ!

So lets start at the beginning... Last week was Sexual Health Week, as organised and promoted by our lovely friends at FPA. We decided to take their theme of 'Facts of Life - talking to your children about sex' and produce our own survey, to find out from the people of Suffolk how they have, or intend to talk to their children about sex, and also how young people have found sex education in their schools. Results of the surveys are going to be released very soon so watch this space!



UCS Freshers Fair!



This week has been another chaotic week with various outreach events going on - We kicked the week off with a day at University Campus Suffolk 'Freshers Fair'. It really was an amazing event with SO many students who were all keen to grab themselves some 'No Risks' merchandise! The bendy pencils went down a storm, as did the lollipops which we were dishing out!

Suffolk New College Freshers Fair!

We followed the Freshers Fair events onto Suffolk New College - It was a really busy day and the stand was really popular. We worked alongside our friends at the Chlamydia Screening Team and chatted to lots of really lovely young people and tried to advertise the 'No Risks' brand, together with the wonderful C-Card scheme.

In the middle of the week we took a break from the Freshers Fairs to attend a Health & Well-being event at Genesis Orwell Mencap - We met some great young people from all different walks of life who sometimes have to overcome more difficult challanges than others do. The stand was a great hit with young people and parents/carers alike and lots of information was given out. We were also really impressed to witness these young people make their own smoothies by powering the blender with an excercise bike! Very cool!

We really REALLY do appreciate everyone taking the time to come and say hi when we are out and about with the display and everyone who did so really made this an awesome week, so thanks to each and everyone of you!

If you missed out on seeing our stand this week then fret not, we are very frequently out and about and I'm sure you will see us soon!

Take care & have a good weekend!
