The C Card Scheme Needs You !

All Wales C-Card Scheme

There have been lots of positive developments in the work being undertaken to re-energise the C-Card scheme within Powys. This Wales wide initiative allows young people from 13-25 to access free condoms alongside support and information regarding their sexual health and wellbeing. Clients can register with a variety of service providers who assess their sexual health needs, issue them with condoms and signpost to other agencies for support where required. Following initial registration the young person can collect further supplies of condoms from a range of outlets upon presenting their individual “C-Card”. Following a predetermined number of issues the young person attends for further assessment and advice to ensure ongoing sexual wellbeing.

Powys have recently had funding agreed for a local C-card Coordinator to lead and support other agencies working within this initiative. Condoms and lubricant have kindly been issued from Public Heath Wales

We need your support to make this as accessible as possible for the young people in Powys and are keen for all agencies who have contact with this group to get involved and offer this well evaluated service.

Full day training can be given and alongside ongoing support. If you or your team would like to be involved please contact   Suzanne Fairclough Development Officer for Sexual Health on suzanne.fairclough@wales.nhs.uk to book onto a training day.
