Text Messaging

Some people think that Scotland is a really small place, but in fact it’s really big.  From highlands and islands, to small villages, to sprawling urban city centres, Scotland has a really diverse landscape and accessing information and support can be different depending on where you are.  Some young people might be isolated within a city the same way as someone in a rural or island community who needs support with LGBT issues.

One way to help LGBT young people access support is by text messaging on their mobile phones.  LGBT Youth Scotland is one of a handful of youth services that provides this direct to your mobile phone.  You can speak to a youth worker directly via text message by texting “info” and where you are to 0778 148 17 88.  As there are only youth groups running in certain areas of Scotland, we can link in with youth services currently running where you are and make sure that you get the support you need.
