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, supporting independent community initatives, 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.

World AIDS Day, 1 December

We send our greetings and deepest thanks to all who are raising awareness of HIV/AIDS and other STIs, getting help to those who need it, promoting safer sexual behaviours, and working to fight intolerance, ignorance and fear, not only in the South West but in the UK and internationally. We are proud to have been working in partnership on common ground for many years with the Devon LGB Health Project; the Eddystone Trust in Plymouth, Torbay and Exeter; Somerset Gay Health; Dorset Gay Health; Cornwall Gay Men's Health Programme and Kernow Positive Support; and Torbay Pride Support. Congratulations to all staff, Trustees and other volunteers on their achievements, and our warmest thanks and good wishes.

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.

If you have any problems using the website, please contact us.
