Scottish Charity No: sco23479 Registered Company No: 156826 Gay Men's Health is currently involved in working with other LGBT organisations and individuals, on an application form to the New Opportunities Fund (part of the National Lottery), for a LGBT Healthy Living Centre in Edinburgh This would be a single building, which houses Gay Men's Health, Stonewall Youth Project, Lothian Gay and Lesbian Switchboard and potentially others. The idea is for this centre to strengthen the network between local LGBT agencies and create new and exciting ways for us to work with one another. The centre would also have a 'community centre' aspect - a healthy option to the gay scene, which has a cafeteria, meeting rooms and also it will be a point of access to various health services and other organisations For more info contact us, see above.
	What is Gay Men's Health? Gay Men's Health is a charity which involves and empowers gay men to develop strategies to combat HIV transmission. It works with and on behalf of gay men and bisexual men, to promote the health and well being of all men who have sex with men in Lothian, including those infected by HIV and AIDS. The organisation distributes free condoms, lubricant and safer sex literature, as well as organising events all on 'the gay scene' and plays an active role in working with commercial establishments in the promotion of physical and emotional well-being amongst gay men. It provides education and training for gay men and professionals such as GPs, teachers, social workers and therapists. Its' care and support includes free counselling, advocacy, group work and drop-in-services and forms an essential part of the holistic approach that the agency takes. Gay Men's Health believes strongly in a process of peer education, which simply means that gay men and their friends are the best people to educate each other.
