INSTANT MESSAGING

It's a place to talk about things that may be difficult to talk about anywhere else....a place to find non-judgemental support and help.
It's confidential, secure and a way of reaching out for help, perhaps when you don't know where else to turn.

The services include our helpline, online chat through instant messaging,email support, information on sexual health and the Turing Network database, a public access search facility that enables anyone to look for support or services catering for the LGBT community.

Whatever way you choose to contact us, our fully trained volunteers will be there to help and can offer you support and information on any subject to do with sexuality.

Our volunteers are helpful, friendly and supportive, and every one of them identifies as either lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans.You don't have to be lesbian, gay or bisexual to contact us – we talk to friends, parents and family members too.

Why contact us? 

I'm coming out... – Call us if you want to talk about your feelings, are frightened, confused or isolated.

I'm going out... – We can give you listings and details of bars, clubs, saunas, social and sports groups and support groups. We can also tell you what’s going on and where in the rest of the UK. 

I'm staying in... – Ask us anything you like about sex: wanting sex, having sex, safer sex, sexual health and where to go if you have an itch or a sore. If you're worried about HIV and AIDS, we can tell you what the risks are and what precautions you can take.

Oh, by the way – no matter how you choose to contact us, this is what we won't do:

  • We won't tell you what to do
