Our free condom schemes help break down access barriers so that more people in Derby and Derbyshire can protect their sexual health.
Through our schemes, venues across the county act as free condom collection points. These include youth clubs and community and faith centres.
Would your organisation like to help us promote better sexual health?
Find out more about our free condom schemes and how you can support us.
In addition to the free condoms available by post and at our sexual health clinics, we also work with a range of venues across the region to help us reach more people.
Anyone aged 13 or older can pick up condoms from these venues.
The free condom schemes we offer from these venues are:
C-Wallets
C-Wallets each contain 4 regular condoms alongside information that signposts the user to local services.
Anyone over 16 can pick up a C-Wallet from one of our partner venues. There is no need for them to leave any details.
C-Scheme
C-Scheme allows young people aged between 13 and 24 to collect up to 20 condoms each month from a C-Scheme collection point.
Over-16s can complete a form on site. Anyone aged 13-15 needs to have a safeguarding chat with a trained worker when they sign up.
Condom scheme for vulnerable adults
Certain community sites in the region also offer free condoms to over-25s who are vulnerable and at higher risk of poor sexual health.
If you would like to offer one of our free condom schemes from your organisation’s venue, please contact our condom scheme co-ordinator on dchst.
Once your application has been approved, we’ll provide you with everything you need, including:
- relevant training
- resource links
- a welcome pack with condoms and lube
- promotional resources
The training we offer will allow your staff to help people sign up to the C-Scheme.

Once you’re up and running, you can use our online hub to order more stock and resources. We’ll also provide links to news from Derbyshire’s sexual health services, as well as training events and videos.
