You can be of any sexuality, and you do not have to be sexually active to have a C-card. If you are aged 16-24, you can alternatively register for a Virtual C-card. If you are under 16, you will first have a 10-20 minute discussion with a professional about how the scheme works. Once issued with a C-Card, young people can then get condoms at a number of local outlets and be given new supplies without further consultation.
Visit the Safebanes website and use the confidential ‘Find a service’ page to locate C-Card services near you. Select ‘Free condoms (C-Card)’ from the drop down menu and enter your postcode.
