CCard lets you get free condoms, lubricant, femidoms and dams at places near you. Once you have your card, either electronic or paper, take it to an Outlet and get your free condoms.
You don’t need to give your name - just your age. If you have an electronic card (for 16 to 25 year olds) and it’s your first time using it, you might be asked for your Young Scot card to check your age.
Who's It For?
Getting Your CCard
There are a number of ways to get your CCard:
- If you want an electronic CCard get it from this website - see our Download Now menu.
- Or download our free App for iOS or Android to always have your CCard on your mobile device.
- If you prefer a paper card, get one from an Outlet or a Centre.
If you’re 13 to 15 you need get it from a nurse at one of your local Centres.
Check out where your nearest Centre and Outlets are below.
Using Your Card
You need to show your CCard to an Outlet administrator to get your condoms, the condoms come in a small paper bag. If you have a paper CCard it’s a good idea to mark up what kind of condom you want on the card with a pencil before you show it to the administrator. If you have an electronic CCard you can also do this on the screen.
Get Registered, Get Condoms
Outlets – to get condoms
Get your free condoms at local Outlets, see below for a list near you. The Outlets are a welcoming service for young people and they will be able to tell you more about the initiative works.
If you are 13 to 15 and want to speak to a health professional, the Outlet administer can help you get in touch with someone. All staff are trained for CCard, if you need to speak to someone your request will be dealt with in line with confidentiality policies and child protection guidelines, this means only in cases where we think you are at harm will anyone else be contacted.
If you’re 16 to 25 years old you can also get registered at an Outlet if you prefer to have a paper card.
Centres – to get registered
Centres are staffed by qualified nurses trained in CCard, they can register 13 to 25 year olds. If you are 13 to 15 years old this will involve a short one to one appointment, this isn’t anything to worry about and again the service has a confidentiality policy and child protection guidelines, meaning that only if the nurse thinks you are at harm will anyone else be contacted.
Remember 16 to 25 year olds can get registered via the App, online or at an Outlet.
Condom Choice
Condoms and lube are in packs of 6, for 16 to 25 year olds and 4, for 13 to 15 year olds. Pack T, LB, and D can be supplied with any other pack of condoms.
