There may be times when you need information, advice, support or someone to talk to about being lesbian, gay or bisexual. There are a number of national and local organisations that may be able to help.

Age Concern England have produced an information sheet 'Planning for later life as a lesbian, gay man or bisexual person' which covers a range of social and financial issues affecting older lesbians, gay men and bisexuals. In addition, the sheet lists contact organisations for lesbians, gay men and bisexuals who are also members of other minority communities. This sheet is available from Age Concern England www.ageconcernengland.org.uk/openingdoors or
