OutWest
OUTWEST is a social and support group for Gay men, Lesbian women and Bisexual people in the West of Ireland. We hold meetings every month, and discos
OUTWEST Ireland was founded originally in 1997 as Mayo Roscommon Outreach by a number of gay people from the region, with the aim of providing the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual community in the West with a support network. The group holds an informal meeting on the first Friday of every month at various venues in the West of Ireland.
The meetings give Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual people an opportunity to meet together in relaxed and friendly atmosphere and to discuss group events and gay issues. People attend from Sligo, Donegal, Mayo, Leitrim, Roscommon, Galway and the midlands. On average 25 people attend, new faces appear regularly and are always welcome.
The group organises social outings and events, some of which are discos, several times a year, in various venues in the West of Ireland. Please see our website for more information.

OutWest Gay Helpline
Our Helpline offers a supportive, totally confidential and non judgmental listening ear to anyone who may be having difficulty accepting or dealing with their own sexuality, or with the sexuality of a family member, friend or colleague.
At Outwest Gay Helpline we understand that coming to terms with your sexuality at any age can be a frightening and lonely experience
Our volunteers, who are all either gay or bisexual, are also able to provide information ranging from details of gay venues, local meetings and functions to sexual health issues
The Helpline is open every Wednesday night from 8-10 pm.
Times:
Wednesday 8.00pm - 10.00pm
