SERVICE CHANGE
From 1st April 2026, you don’t need a C-Card to get free condoms in Buckinghamshire. Instead, if you’re 13-24 you can get free condoms without registration at outlets and if you’re 16-24 you can get condoms by post. You can discard your C-Card as it is no longer needed.
The free condom scheme lets young people aged 13-24 access free condoms and lube from a number of locations.
Who is it for?
Anyone aged 13-24 in living in Buckinghamshire can get free condoms.
How does it work?
You can turn up and ask for free condoms at any of the free condom locations. If you’re 16-24 you can also order free condoms online.
In Person
You can get free condoms by asking for them from one of the locations that are registered with the scheme. Outlets will let you know they are part of the scheme by displaying the free condoms logo in their window. You won’t have to provide any personal details, but you might be asked a couple of questions just to check your age and that you know how to use condoms.
By Post
If you’re 16-24 you can also order free condoms online for them to be posted to you in discreet packaging. For this we’ll need a postcode, name and date of birth.
Order condoms by post (ages 16+)
What if I’m over 25?
If you are aged 25 or over, you can still access free condoms and lube from any bSHaW sexual health clinic during an appointment. Additionally, Brookside Aylesbury and SHAW High Wycombe run the C4C Scheme giving adults packs of free condoms that can be collected monthly from reception. Please call 0300 303 2880 to register for the scheme.
You can also get free condoms from some GP surgeries, or purchase them in pharmacies, supermarkets and online for as little as 99p.

Free condoms and sexual health support for young people
The C-Card scheme is a free and confidential service. It allows young people between 13-24 years old to access free condoms and lubrication.
If you are aged 13-15 you’ll speak with a friendly trained professional about sex, relationships and sexual health too.
You have the same rights to confidentiality as an adult, which means that we won’t pass on any information to your parents/carers or anyone else without your permission. The only time we may have to share information with other professionals is if you tell us something that makes us seriously concerned for your safety or welfare, or the safety or welfare of others.
Under 16’s can register for the C-Card to access free condoms by visiting a C-card distribution site in person. There are a wide range of outlets in Buckinghamshire including, schools, colleges, universities and community centres. You can view a map of all C-Card sites using the link below.
