Umbrella aims to better meet the needs of a young, diverse population by delivering:

• integrated sexual health services that combine contraception with testing and treatment for STIs
• health promotion and prevention
• services that address sexual coercion, exploitation and violence
• services in primary care: GPs and pharmacies (Birmingham only)
• services through third sector organisations, e.g. charities
• better access to services in Birmingham and Solihull, including through options such as digital and online
• better outcomes for the people of Birmingham and Solihull, such as reduction in late diagnosis of HIV, fewer unplanned pregnancies and better identification of chlamydia infection
