RA Trust
Nearly 500,000 people are diagnosed with STIs in the UK annually, with the infection rate growing year on year. This increase is largely due to a lack of knowledge about safe sex among young people, reckless sexual behaviour and not knowing enough about condom use or personal hygiene. The RA Trust strives to reach high-risk groups by creating effective information campaigns and educational materials. We promote sexual health information in campaigns on social media, where young people see it, as well as with outdoor advertising on targeted sites and with condom distribution.
