Condom distribution scheme co-evaluation

Have your say

What is this project about?

The condom distribution co-evaluation project focuses on working with young people to better understand and improve the condom distribution scheme in Tower Hamlets, currently known as the C-Card scheme.

Through surveys and interactive workshops, we explored young people’s awareness, experiences and perceptions of the scheme, identifying what works well, what doesn’t, and what needs to change. The aim is to ensure the service is accessible, youth-friendly and responsive to the needs of the community.
