The service launches this month and will involve local young people in developing its name and identity as well as partner with local health and education providers.

It will work in schools, colleges, community groups and with health services to provide one-to-one support, training, and sexual health promotion.

Turning Point has replaced sexual health charity Brook in providing sexual health services for young people in the area.

“Working in partnership with the council and other local organisations will allow us to provide a truly needs-based support service and achieve better outcomes for young people in Hounslow,” said Turning Point chief executive Julie Bass.

“We aim to provide them with the education and tools they need to practice good sexual health for the rest of their lives.”
