Family Planning Association

The Family Planning Association (FPA) was a UK registered charity working to enable people to make informed choices about sex and to enjoy sexual health. It was the national affiliate for the International Planned Parenthood Federation in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1930, the FPA celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2010.[2] Its motto was "Talking sense about sex". The charity was placed into liquidation on 15 May 2019,[3] but the FPA name continues as a limited company selling sexual health resources.[4]
