YOUNG people from Leigh and Wigan are needed to help educate others in the borough about sexual health.

The Sex Talkers Peer Education project is a successful scheme, supported by Brook, Wigan and Leigh, which aims to raise awareness of sexual health issues among local young people.

Young volunteers are trained to hold workshops and discussions with young people's groups, making it easier for them to talk and ask questions about sex and relationships.

All training is accredited and volunteers will have the opportunity to work towards NVQs at the same time.
