Consent is needed for all sexual interactions. If you’ve said yes to sex, you can change your mind at any time. If you’ve agreed to one sexual act, you can say no to a different sexual act. #NoMeansNo and only an enthusiastic yes means yes.

STIs are transferred through unprotected sex. It's important to get tested often, especially if you think you’ve been exposed to a STI or you’ve recently changed partners. Many people don't show symptoms so might not know they have a STI.

There is a whole range of contraception available, which each offer different forms of protection. Talk to your worker or look at the NHS website for the full range of options and advice about each.

July 14th marks Non-binary Visibility Day.
In honour of this day, we encourage you to read inspiring stories that showcase the diverse experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals, both past and present. #nonbinaryvisibilityday
We want to thank all who have supported us - our volunteers, partners, staff, trustees, and supporters.
Without each and every one of you, we would not be able to continue the incredible work that we do here at Basis.
Thank you!

Ever thought about volunteering with Basis?
Here's what some of our Basis volunteers had to say about their experiences volunteering in drop-in, outreach, and around the office and all the wonderful things they have helped us to do!
#thankyou #volunteers #VolunteersWeek
#HappyPrideMonth
Basis recognises everyone’s right to live their sexualities, and express their gender(s) freely everyday.
We also acknowledge the additional stigma that young people we work with from the LGBTQ+ communities experience.

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, Pudsey’s temporarily removed his bandana.
Our 'Behind the Bandana' campaign is there to show that mental health issues are often less visible and to encourage conversations that can help.
Head here for tips and tools 👉 bbc.co.uk/pudsey
ALT Mental health issues can be harder to see. Pudsey's removed his bandana to show that some issues aren't visible on the outside. But conversations can help keep a child's mental health on track.
