Intercom is a lesbian gay bisexual and trans community resource in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, providing help against homophobic and transphobic prejudice, crime and discrimination (including bullying, harassment, abuse, attacks, and threatening behaviour), helping to develop the LGB/T communities, providing professional training and consultancy, and working in partnership with local government, the police, health, etc.

Friday 8 August 2008 was the start of Intercom's twelfth year. We have been working for fairness and human rights, supporting independent community initiatives, fighting prejudice and isolation, and bringing help to people who need it, across the peninsula. Deepest thanks to all our stakeholders, funders, Trustees, staff, volunteers and supporters over the last eleven years --- without you we would never have got this far or achieved so much.

Intercom is proud to be working with the Safer Devon Partnership again this Spring, helping all LGBT people in Devon to raise awareness and understanding about phobic crime. We've started a campaign called Enough Is Enough! to help a wide range of LGBT people --- you? --- to let us know what's happened, in confidence.Have a look at our updated Campaigns page for more information!

Very warm thanks to Peter Tatchell, who launched Intercom's new Media booklet on 26 February. Read all about it on our Breaking News page (www.intercomtrust.org.uk/news).

LGBT History Month

It was a remarkable LGBT History Month across the peninsula, with lots of involvement from the communities, from our stakeholders in local government, and from national organisations, above all from Schools Out. For some of our activities have a look at our History Month page, www.intercomtrust.org.uk/lsw/lgbt-hm.htm.

We would like to thank our immensely hard-working and dedicated web design volunteer, who worked hard to make this new website as accessible as possible. He tells us that this current version should be fully accessible to speaking software used by people with visual impairments, and to people who access it via mobile phones. It should also function correctly in all the main browsers.
