While the Westcountry may not be renowned for its thriving gay nightlife, there are many community organisations that work in conjunction with one another to provide our LGBT population with an excellent support network. Covering all ages, creeds, races, beliefs and abilities, the local LGBT community groups are a superb source of information and are testament to the real sense of community that our community offers.
