Our outreach workers focus on groups who can feel disconnected from society and may not have access to sexual health information and services. These groups include but are not limited LGBTI+ people, people engaged with sex work, people living or accessing addiction services, vulnerable adults and migrants.
Our workshops give people a safe space where they can discuss difficult subjects in a way they are comfortable with.
