As well as providing sexual health information online, we run the iLASH Young Women’s Health Clinic providing sexual health care from Donegal Women’s Centre on the Port Road.
It is a free clinic for ages 17 to 25 providing consultations on all methods of contraception as well as testing and sexual health support for people who menstruate. It runs every Monday from 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm (except bank holidays).

30th June 2020 – Sexual Health and Coronavirus
With the last of the exam results just out for school and college, and shops and businesses opening up again, it’s really starting to feel like summer. The Sexual Health Information Project put together this handy infographic about the things you need to think about. We want you to be smart and stay safe – and always seek consent.
Latest Update June 24th
Ilash will re-open from Monday June 29th. We are asking that anyone attending please wear a mask (it protects us and it protects you!) and adhere to social distancing. Someone will be there to meet you at the door and explain what’s going to happen next.
Please Note: There might be some delays due to the new measures – it’s all a learning curve so bear with us.
We look forward to opening our doors again!
