Young people aged 13-24 can get condoms free of charge through the Devon CCard scheme, along with useful sexual health information. CCard sites are in different places across the county but most schools and colleges have one – ask your school nurse or pastoral team – it’s confidential. You can check for your nearest site by using the site locator on this website. Schools and colleges aren’t on the map.
Then the CCard scheme is perfect for you. Not only will you have a one to one chat with an experienced worker, you’ll have the chance to get all your questions answered. If giving you condoms is the right thing for you, then that’s what we’ll do!
You can get condoms from clinic whenever you attend for an appointment.
You can also request a call back by phone to discuss a condom supply.
If you are a man who has sex with men (MSM) living in Devon & Torbay, you can access free condoms by post from the Eddystone Trust.
MSM can access packages of condoms from Eddystone every 3 months, with occasional top-ups if required. Eddystone are also currently sending out one-off bundles to people requesting over the age of 18 – this will be continually reviewed as COVID restrictions ease.
