The Brook Outreach Team is looking to partner with local businesses, gyms, charities, faith organisations, and community groups to bring free HIV and STI testing directly into the community.

By hosting a testing session, you can help reduce barriers to sexual health services and support local people to access free, confidential testing in a familiar and trusted environment.

Hosting is simple. All what is needed is:

• A private room for confidential testing
• Your help promoting the event to staff, members, customers, or service users

The testing, information, and support will be provided.

Interested in becoming a host venue?

Get in touch at southend.ccard@brook.org.uk or rutendo.chitiga@brook.org.uk to find out how you can work with the team to improve access to sexual health services across Southend.

Together, you can make testing more accessible, reduce stigma, and support healthier communities.
