Sexual health and the new parliament
FPA works with members of parliament (MPs) in Westminster because they can make decisions that affect the sexual health services that people in the UK need.

Get involved in local lobbying
With five other sexual health charities, FPA has launched SHout Loud a website which enables individuals, community groups and campaigners to have their say about sexual health, contraception and HIV services in England.
The site lets you find out about sexual health in your area and suggests actions you can take to improve local services.
Highlight the importance of community contraception services to women of all ages by writing to your local NHS. Get your voice heard – take action now.
