Condoms Now:
The Cheshire West and Chester Condoms Now scheme is a free and confidential coordinated condom distribution network for young people aged 13 – 26 years living in Cheshire West and Chester. It aims to provide quick and confidential access to condoms, supported by evidence based, accurate contraceptive and sexual health information, and sign posting to comprehensive sexual health services. Condoms Now outlets operate from a variety of community settings such as youth centres, educational settings, pharmacies, general practice, and specialist contraceptive and sexual health services. Practitioners operating the scheme can be from a variety of disciplines with a range of different experience.
New Condoms Now outlets will need to apply to become an approved site.
