Sexual health service

Each week we have a nurse from Brook who provides a range of services including provision of condoms, Chlamydia testing, pregnancy testing and advice on sexual health. This service is by appointment from 11.00 – 3.30 on Wednesdays.

We also have a service called BeeHIVe which provides joint HIV and Syphilis testing in a range of settings around the Borough.

Reporting Hate Crime

The police don't tolerate hate crime, why should you? Reporting hate crime makes a difference. You can help prevent a hate crime happening to someone else in your community and other communities, and you can help the Police better understand hate crime and improve their responses to it, including making arrests. If you do not feel comfortable contacting the Police directly, The What? Centre can do so on your behalf. We can keep your identity anonymous, or pass on your details.
BAME group

In addition to counselling with a specialist counsellor, the What? Centre also offers group support. The BAME Group can help you connect with like-minded people and provide you with a supportive network, give you a space to explore the unique challenges faced by BAME people and promote your well-being. The aim of this group will be exploring identity and self-acceptance. Please register to our first group session, which will then continue weekly.
Support for Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities

The What? Centre specialises in providing a range of support for young people who would like to explore their cultural, race or identity as well as just simply provided a safe space where the BAME community can come to. In addition to counselling (with our specialist counsellor) we provide a range of targeted group support for young people experiencing similar experiences.
