Leicester Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Transgender Centre is at the heart of the local community. We offer a range of support and information on issues relating to sexual orientation. People access our services for a variety of reasons, including advice on coming out, relationship problems, homophobia and meeting others. We are also able to offer support and training to statutory, voluntary, community and private organisations or groups on issues related to sexual orientation and the support needs of LGB people.
Face2Face
Our support work is carried out by appointment and is provided by trained staff and volunteers. Depending on staff availability we may be able to offer you a Face2Face session. If we do not have the resources, expertise or information available to help you we will seek to refer you to a suitable agency that can help. For more information contact us on 0116 254 7412.
