Referral method
Self-referral or 3rd party/ professional referral. We arrange to meet with people accessing our support services so it is often best if the person contacts us themselves to arrange a time that is convenient for them, or are with the 3rd person to facilitate this. However, our social activities are open to anyone who has same-sex attraction, are often theme, interest, or gender based and people can just drop in at the scheduled times. Please call or email for an up-to-date programme of activities.
