Founded in 1992, GMFA is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to gay men’s health. Our mission is to improve gay men’s health by increasing the control they have over their own lives. We are based on the belief that the best health promotion for gay men comes from gay men themselves.
For this reason, we use the knowledge and ideas of volunteers, most of them gay men, to design and plan thought-provoking sexual health interventions. These include a range of advertising campaigns, leaflets, postcards and booklets; FS, our health magazine, distributed nationally in gay venues and GU clinics; and national and London-based courses covering sex education, life skills and smoking cessation.
In addition, we create targeted sexual health interventions for black gay men and HIV positive gay men. Independent surveys have concluded that GMFA’s campaigns reach up to 60% of the London gay population and that we are the most reliable agency at reaching gay men.
