The Gay Helpline is part of Cara-Friend, which was established in 1974 as a voluntary counselling, befriending, information, and social space organisation for the LGBT community in N.Ireland.

We provide information on a wide range of issues, including gay clubs/bars, social/support groups, health information, legal information, etc.

We can also provide a befriending service if you have no gay contacts.

Any information you provide to the Gay Helpline will remain totally confidential. How much information you provide is entirely up to you. You do not have to ring for a specific reason  - very often we receive calls from gay or bisexual men who are socially isolated for various reasons, and simply want to talk with another gay man.

Our volunteers are trained to be receptive and understanding and will offer friendship and support to anyone concerned about sexuality, including parents of gay and lesbian children.
