Who we are & What we do
We formed as a local group (then called Gloucestershire Friend) born out of a need for a Helpline for gay and lesbian people in Gloucestershire and the surrounding counties. We embarked on a six month set-up, fund raising and volunteer training programme.
In March 1990 we started to operate our Telephone Helpline, Postal Service and Face to Face Meeting Service.
We changed our name in 1997 to Gay & Lesbian Friend Helpline (Gloucestershire) and in 2005 to GAY-GLOS.
Our FAQ #10 "How did you start and what is your history?" gives more detail.
