Sexual Health, HIV, Education and Responses

SHIVER, Sexual Health, HIV, Education and responses encompasses a number of sexual health focussed projects, particularly focussed to Blackpool and the Fylde Coast. In 2006/7 with the increase of Drugline’s sexual health working it was felt a clear identity was required for those projects and services and the SHIVER banner was developed. This encompassing existing SHIVER projects including S&M project (sexual health for men venue outreach) PSE project (public sex environment and) SWOSS project (sex workers outreach support service) and One Stop Information Shop (LGBT Venue information and in-reach opportunity) with new projects for the year including PSE extension sauna project outreach/in reach, LGBT Project (Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender) community development,) .Sexual Health Training project for Blackpool and Lancashire Voluntary Sector Capacity Building project for HIV services.
All the projects mentioned above are joined together under the SHIVER (Sexual Health, HIV, Education and Responses) umbrella, the bespoke sexual health aspect of Drugline-Lancashire, with the focus to target the hardest to reach communities within Blackpool and the Fylde Coast and one project covering Lancashire. The overall aim is to raise sexual health service awareness, to signpost to sexual health and other services, support access to sexual health and other services, offer sexual health and well being health maximizing information using targeted outreach and in reach techniques, married with increased opportunity for individual and community awareness and capacity building.
SHIVER was pleased so early in its development to receive a Regional Public Health Award for its work with vulnerable people
