IF YOU ARE UNDER 20 YOU CAN GET FREE CONDOMS

THROUGH BRISTOL'S  C-CARD SCHEME

To get a C-card you need to go to one of the C-card registration points across the city.  You will have a confidential chat with a trained C-card worker, who will explain the scheme, teach you the best way to use condoms and answer any questions you might have.  You don’t need to give your name and they won’t tell your parents/guardians that you have been to see them.

Once you have a C-card you can go to any C-card pick up point  and be given free condoms. You can do that up to ten times before coming back in for another chat with a C-card worker. This gives you the chance to ask more questions or talk about any concerns you have. You will then get a new C-card to use.

Free condoms are also available at all the 4YP young people’s clinics and all the 4YP GP practices (family doctors). You can also buy condoms in pubs, clubs, supermarkets, petrol stations, chemists and pharmacies.

Condoms are the only contraceptive method that protects against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as well as pregnancy.
