Sexual Health Services
Our team are here if you’re aged 13 to 25 and…
… have questions about sex.
… need access to contraception and STI testing.
… want to speak to someone confidentially about your health and wellbeing related to anything from pregnancy to pressures to pornography.
If the above sounds like you, you’re not alone. Our service will work with over 4,000 young people this year from Newcastle alone.
Children North East works to deliver a wide variety of sexual health services across Newcastle, championing the health and emotional wellbeing of young people. We combine traditional services like access to contraception and STI checks with free confidential advice and support on challenges such as pregnancy decision making, respect and consent, and period poverty.
When you’re young, navigating sexual health and healthy relationships can feel complicated, so we’ve tried to make it simple with our services that fit into your day-to-day life:
Sexual Health Advice Drop-In Sessions

We’ll be out and about across the city’s schools, colleges and universities providing 1-2-1 and group support on a wide range of sexual health topics. Not sure if we’ll be at yours? Keep an eye on our social media or contact us to find out where we will be. Education organisations are invited to get in touch to organise an outreach visit.
Tailored Sessions
We understand that some groups of young people may want sexual health support that explores specific needs and/or is delivered in a space that feels safe to them. We can provide tailored sessions for certain groups, such as LGBTQ+ communities, those with disabilities or from specific cultural backgrounds. Get in touch to organise a tailored session.
Nurse-led Sessions
We regularly host nurse-led sessions in community venues, giving you have the chance to access confidential healthcare and signposting into NHS services. Keep an eye on our social media or contact us to find out where we will be.
