Brook
Brook is a national charity supporting people with their sexual health and wellbeing. Founded by Helen Brook in 1964, Brook blazed a trail by empowering unmarried women to take charge of their sexual health at a time when it was deemed controversial. Despite fierce opposition, Helen Brook refused to let stigma stand in the way of what was needed. Today, Brook is proud to continue in Helen Brook’s pioneering footsteps by providing high quality, holistic sexual health and wellbeing services. Brook’s vision is that everyone is supported to live healthy lives, free from inequality and strengthened by fulfilling relationships. The charity’s unique offer combines face-to-face and digital clinical services for people of all ages, early intervention mental health and wellbeing support for young people, relationships and sex education in schools, training and consultancy for educators, outreach in local communities, and policy and advocacy.
