Expanding our reach in new geographical areas

We expanded into new geographical areas in 23/24, working with partners to provide services at the heart of communities. 

In April 2023, we joined Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust to deliver a new integrated sexual health and wellbeing service. Supported by community and health champions, Brook is leading a range of initiatives to help improve health outcomes across the county including targeted community and one-to-one support for young people and adults, health promotion campaigns, HIV prevention and the C-card condom distribution service.  

January 2024 saw us mobilise our largest dedicated mental health and wellbeing contract in Central Bedfordshire to build resilience in young people at a time when mental health outcomes for young people remain poor. Through this pioneering project, we are working with schools to provide My Life and mental health literacy support to young people, and supporting parents and carers to recognise the early signs of deteriorating mental health.  

We are also supporting schools with their whole school approach and training staff to adopt a trauma informed ethos. 

We are delighted to have won a new all age contract to deliver a pioneering sexual health service in Thurrock Essex for people of all ages from 1 April 2024. As well as deploying our My Brook portal to provide the residents of Thurrock with access to our new range of digital clinical tools, our education experts will work with schools and in the local community to increase access to RSE and improve sexual health outcomes through targeted outreach.
