ABOUT GMFA:
GMFA was established in 1992 and is the leading UK charity dedicated to improving gay men’s health. Despite progress towards legal equality, gay men still suffer from inequalities in health. Gay men account for 80 percent of new HIV infections in the UK. They are at a greater risk of sexual and mental health problems and are more likely to be affected by cancer and illnesses related to drug and alcohol use.

GMFA’s mission is to improve gay men’s health by increasing the control they have over their own lives. We believe that the best health promotion for gay men comes from gay men themselves, and so we use the knowledge and ideas of our 170 volunteers (most of them gay men) to design and plan our thought provoking sexual health interventions.

We have received international acclaim for our Sex and Sexual Health website www.gmfa.org.uk/sex. Our other websites include a detailed listing of sexual health services available for gay men in London www.gmfa.org.uk/londonservices, an information resource for HIV positive gay men www.gmfa.org.uk/positive and a guide to gay sports and social groups in London www.gmfa.org.uk/theguide. All of our sites can be accessed at www.gmfa.org.uk.

GMFA produce a range of advertising campaigns, leaflets, postcards and booklets. Independent surveys have concluded that our campaigns reach up to 60% of the London gay population and we are the most reliable agency at reaching gay men. In addition to this we distribute our own health magazine, FS, free to London’s gay bars and clubs to further educate gay men about relationships, their bodies, general health and STIs. Over the last fourteen years we have provided courses for over 10,000 gay men, providing safer sex education, life skills and stop smoking courses. We currently provide a range of groupwork interventions across England and Wales. GMFA has Big Lottery funding to create sexual health interventions for Black gay men in London.
