Increasing accessibility in 25/26

In January 2026, the Government committed to developing a new sexual and reproductive health framework, following evidence presented by Brook and others to the Health and Social Care Select Committee in October 2025. This will be the first new sexual health strategy for over a decade and is eagerly awaited with local sexual health services struggling to meet increased demand.

At the same time, record numbers of young people are facing mental health difficulties. Over 1 million under-18s are now in contact with NHS mental health services but, due to a lack of investment and capacity, many young people cannot access the support they need.  In the face of these challenges, Brook continues to develop innovative approaches to ensure we reach those who most need our support.
