Why fundraise for Brook?

Fundraise-at-brook.jpg

Navigating adolescence is hard. Young people may face discrimination, low self-esteem, STIs, abuse, unplanned pregnancy and might not know how to handle sexting, porn and bullying... 

Brook provides the support and advice they need to make confident choices about their body and their sexual health.

We listen to young people without judging. We give them the respect and trust they deserve, so they can be themselves without fear of discrimination. We help them make the right choices for them about their bodies and their sexuality, equipping them with the facts about contraception, STIs and consent. We educate them about abuse, exploitation and violence, and demand that others do, too.

When there is nowhere else for young people to turn, your support will ensure they can always turn to Brook.

Why your support is needed

Brook is a registered charity. We are commissioned by local councils to provide our clinical services, but much of the work that Brook does - and that young people tell us they value - receives no core funding. We fund this work ourselves by earning income, and seek grants, sponsorships and donations to support it.  Our staff and volunteers - and our generous supporters like you - fundraise to make this work possible.

However much you raise through your fundraising – a little or a lot – all of it will directly support our work with young people.

What your fundraising will support

  • Providing young people with confidential help and advice on sexual health through our Ask Brook digital helpline, which provides honest, non-judgemental advice to over 1,000 young people every month
  • Campaigning for comprehensive sex and relationships education, access to confidential sexual health services, and a voice for every young person in the UK
  • Our website, which provides accurate, reliable information on sex, relationships and wellbeing and is used by nearly a million young people and professionals every year
  • Enabling young people’s participation across Brook, ensuring that young people can be heard, influence decisions, and effect real change
  • Investing in Brook’s services, such as developing our Health and Wellbeing offer, our sexuality and trans-gender work, or our expertise in tackling Child Sexual Exploitation, so we can continue to adapt to what young people tell us they need
  • Developing resources for the teachers and professionals who work with young people, giving them the information they need to protect young people and help them make informed choices about their health and wellbeing.
