Sexpression Warwick

Sexpression Warwick

Are you interested in sexuality, gender, and relationships? Do you want to help others get high quality sex and relationship education? Are you looking to help further equality and respect in your community? Would you like rewarding and fulfilling experiences that involve working with the local community? 

YES?!

So, why not try Sexpresssion Warwick?

Who are we?


We are a humble branch of Sexpression:UK, a national charity run by university students! We have grown tired of the way certain topics surrounding sexual health, consent and relationships are talked about, or more damagingly, not talked about. We don’t believe that information should be kept for “1 day, when you’re a little older.” Current guidelines on sex ed in schools are inadequate, so we have decided to step up to fill this gap. We work on campus and in local schools, so, as a member, you can pick and choose what level of commitment works with your schedule.

This year we are hoping to restart our in school teaching, but WE NEED YOUR HELP! Other events we run regularly throughout the year include - weekly 'discuss' sessions, POP! welfare stands, crafting, student-led talks, any many more. Don't forget our annual SHAG (sexual health and guidance) Fest in the middle of February where we hand out condoms whilst dressed as a giant willy, play fun games (and win fun prizes), and all-in-all do our absolute best to spread our message of sexual health and happiness in relationships (romantic or otherwise). 

So if teaching isn't for you - no problem! There are so many other ways you can help out and get involved. Got an idea or skill that will  improve our soc? Let us know about that too!

Our Welcome Week events are . . . the Sexy Quiz on Tuesday 24th September, the Big Sex Ed Session on Thursday 26th September, and a Crafternoon on Saturday 28th September. For more information, check out our instagram and shoot us a DM if you have any questions

 

What do we teach?

Once trained and checked, you'll be paired with another volunteer to facilitate in-school workshops. These will help create an open environment, free of judgement, where students aged 11-18 can learn about and share their experiences (if they want!) of taboo topics. Our workshops are age-appropriate and span sessions such as:

  • Bodily Changes

  • STIs, Safer Sex and Contraception

  • Sex and Consent

  • Relationships and Abuse

  • Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity  

  • Sex and the Media

What can we offer you?

Worried you don't know enough? No problem! All we need from our volunteers is enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. In return, we provide comprehensive training, including Child Protection Training and safeguarding, and the opportunity to attend national conferences, all before you enter the classroom. You'll get certificates for successful completion of training days and, if you're an undergrad and put enough hours in, you'll even get a volunteering certificate that shows up on your Higher Education Achievement Report! Woohoo! 

 

Join Us!

We are always open to suggestions for more topics to cover, so if you have a specialised interest please let us know! 

We are a small, but open and growing society looking for keen volunteers to give Sexpression a try. Find us on Instagram and sign-up to a social event or training session. No problem if you can't make every event or if you want to sign up later in the year, we're always looking for new members! There is great potential for volunteers to shape the society, and plently of opportunities to have more responsibilites and also run for exec positions (wow, your CV is going to look sooo good). 

Any questions just send us an email or DM on Instagram. We'd love to welcome you to the team.
