Sexual Health VCSE Network

About Sexual Health VCSE Network

Volition – Forum Central is coordinating a network which brings VCSE third sector organisations and community groups together around the topic of Sexual Health.
We meet quarterly and share relevant information with members as it comes through. Employees and volunteers at charities and community organisations are welcome to join the network.

This is part of a new contract commissioned by Leeds City Council in which ‘Leeds Sexual Health’ has been completely redesigned to better serve the needs of the Leeds population and expand access. The new contract is a partnership between:
Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust (LCH)
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT)
Leeds GP Confederation (LGPC)
Volition – Forum Central

Leeds Sexual Health Meetings

We meet quarterly, comprising three online meetings and one in-person ‘celebration’ event. You are also welcome to take part in our Forum Central ‘Joint Network Meetings’, which happen once or twice a year.

These are also attended by statutory team members from Leeds Community Health and Leeds City Council to encourage direct conversation between the VCSE and statutory sectors.

Invites are sent by email to network members. If you’d like to come to a meeting, please either sign up using the form or email us with any queries on hello@forumcentral.org.uk.

Next VSSE Sexual Health meeting date: Wednesday, 25 June 2025, 2 to 4 PM, online.
