The Highland LGBT Forum is a charity based in Inverness and has a committee of volunteers drawn from the local LGBT community. The Forum is independent from any other organisations and aims to organise a variety of events for LGBT people where everyone is welcome.
Our July Newsletter is now available online.
As well as the individuals themselves, family and friends are affected. The Highland LGBT Forum welcomes the well-researched storylines and the sensitive issues that they raise. On behalf of the Forum, Chairman Mike Kirby said 'A lot of people will relate to what they are watching and may well be suffering with similar issues.'
With this in mind the Forum contacted helplines that are professionally trained to advise and would like anyone that is feeling affected by issues surrounding their, or someone close to them's sexuality, to pick up the telephone and get some help.
Breathing Space telephone lines are open Monday to Thursday from 6pm to 2am and from 6pm on Friday until 6am on Monday. Their number is 0800 83 85 87.
The Samaritans telephone lines are open constantly on 08457 90 90 90.
