You may remember that last year we funded a service for young adults to get confidential sexual health advice from a qualified health professional through a simple online messaging service.

Kamy Dosajh, service manager and project lead, says:

Since the service was introduced last year, we are one of the most active teams nationally, according to the Chat Health provider, which is great to hear.

“It’s a discreet and quick service, and those contacting us can give as little or as much information as they’re comfortable with.

“Though the initial thought had been to aim the service at 13 - 19yr olds, the age range varied, and we are able to promptly get people the advice they need through the messaging service and/or see them in a clinic or signpost them to other appropriate services.

“Without the Charity funding, we would not be able to set up this important service.”
