West of Scotland Lesbian and Gay Forum
Welcome
The West of Scotland Lesbian and Gay Forum has produced this resource to inform all members of the
LGBT community in the area about what's out there and who they need to get in touch with. We want to
empower and encourage everyone to participate in the vibrant activities and opportunities that exist in
Glasgow and the region around the city. In particular the directory shows that there is more and more
going on in the areas around Glasgow and while the city may remain a focus, there is work being done,
by our forum and others, to maintain and expand services to the region.
WEST OF SCOTLAND LESBIAN AND GAY FORUM
“Working Towards Equality for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community”
The West of Scotland Lesbian and Gay Forum is an umbrella organisation which brings together organisations and groups representing lesbians, gay men, bisexual and transgender people and their interests in the West of Scotland. The principal objectives of the Forum are to promote equal rights and equal participation for LGBT people in all walks of life, to provide facilities and opportunities in the interests of improving their quality of life and to promote community development. Most of the work is done by the member organisations each of which retains its own identity and by the Forum's partners in the statutory and voluntary sectors. The specific role of the Forum is to bring organisations and groups together in order to provide opportunities for networking, information exchange, cooperation, coordination and in appropriate cases collective representation and action.
