Brook is the brilliant young people's sexual health and wellbeing charity that has been supporting young people for over 50 years. We have an amazing track record and unique expertise in the sexual health and education needs of young people. Young people now more than ever need to be able to access treatment and support from good quality sexual health services. More than ever they need good quality sex and relationships education to help them make sense of the world, to stay safe and be happy. We need to invest now for our young people's future. Cut in haste and repent at leisure. Today's clinic closure is tomorrow's unhappy and unhealthy young adult.

I had the honour of working for and eventually running the most beautiful charity ever : a feisty young people focused, reproductive rights education and campaigning organisation widely acknowledged to punch way above its weight.Working for EFC gave me an amazing breadth of experiences and skills including: campaigning and advocacy; project management; qualitative research, writing and editing for a range of audiences; training, Parliamentary and policy work; media, social media and more.Education For Choice is now a project within the excellent Brook young people's charity. EFC is still providing brilliant evidence-based information and education on abortion; still supporting teachers, health workers and youth workers to equip young people to prevent unintended pregnancy and make informed pregnancy decisions.
