Serena Jones Condom Card Co-ordinator for Powys, has been in post since May this year and already made incredible progress with the provision of free condoms throughout the county. 

It's easy to register for the service, all you need to do is fill out a simple form, providing a username and postcode. Once registration is complete you'll receive a key fob with a QR code. Scanning this code will display the access points to collect condoms from and whether these access points are open or closed. The first visit has to be an in person appointment, the next 10 collections can be made without an appointment then another appointment is needed before another collection can be made. This ensures that checks can be carried out and that no further services are required. Each collection contains 10 condoms for adults and 6 for people under the age of 16. There are 21 access points in the North, Mid and South of the county. Access points include LARC nurses, YFC, Kaleidoscope and CAIS. Brecon Mind and Breocn outpatients have recently completed their condom card training with plans for Montgomery YFC in the North to undertake training in the not too distant future. A  three month pilot with Freedom Leisure has just been completed with plans to extend the pilot which would make the service more widely accessible throughout the county. 

It's great to see just how much progress has been made and how committed Serena is to the scheme, keep up the good work!
