What is a C-Card?
The C-Card (condom card) is a small card which will fit into your pocket, purse or wallet. Having a card means that you can get free condoms (internal and external), lubricant, and oral/dental dams as well as lots of information and advice. Most young people can get a c-card but you must be under 25 years old.
How do I get a C-Card?
To get a c-card requires you to have an initial assessment with a trained member of the reception team to register for a c-card. The assessment will be carried out in a private room and will take no longer than 15 minutes. The receptionist will go through the following:
- Your age (you have to be under 25)
- Check you are not in any danger
- Check you are not putting anyone else in danger
- What support you have from parents/carers and friends
- Check that you understand all of the information that is being given to you
- A condom demonstration
- The products available and how to use them
Please speak to a member of the reception team if you would like to find out more.
