COMMUNITY Programmes
Naz takes a widespread, intersectional approach to sexual health outreach and education, working across different communities, locations, and age groups to deliver tailored, culturally relevant sexual health information that helps people make informed decisions. We see clients from across all 33 London boroughs and regularly see clients from outside London.

The Naz health promotion team shows up where our communities show up, including community centres, shopping malls, colleges and universities, libraries, and social events. Each year, we support thousands of people through outreach, condom distribution, culturally specific educational resources, peer support, and 1:2:1 support and advice.
