Since 1979 Colchester Gay
Switchboard have worked throughout North Essex to meet the needs of
gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered individuals and those
affected by HIV and AIDS.
From
our building in Colchester, The Outhouse, we provide a 5 nights a week
7-10pm Helpline. If you have something on your mind our trained
volunteers are here to listen and help you talk through any issues you
wish, totally confidential. Our cafe area is open on Thursday
evenings and Saturday mornings providing a safe place to meet other
LGBT people. We also have a dedicated Youth Group hosted by a
professional Youth Worker for those aged 13 to 19.
We
focus on North Essex simply because we are based in Colchester but we
work hard to hold details on venues and organisations throughout the
East of England. So, regardless of where you are, if you want to
talk we are here 5 nights a week to listen, whether it be Essex,
Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire or further a field.
Colchester
Gay Switchboard is a registered charity with elected Trustees.
