Counselling service PACE is offering a new online support service for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people experiencing emotional distress and mental health problems.
Since 1985, PACE has endeavoured to provide holistic support services for the LGBT community in London, and is now extending its reach across the UK. The leading charity has developed its online services to meet this need.

LGBT rights and equality campaigning charity Stonewall has announced the selection of lots that will be available at its annual Silent Auction, which will take place at the Stonewall Equality Dinner, on 11 April 2013.
The 19 lots include; a box for 12 to see P!nk (pictured) play the O2, artworks by Kobi Israel and Lucy Ash, a three-night stay at the 5-star Hotel Rosa Alpina in Italy, VIP and backstage passes to the Graham Norton Show, and a private concert by Royal Opera House tenor Ed Lyon.

There’s no better benchmark for judging an organisation’s commitment to lesbian, gay and bisexual employees than Stonewall’s Workplace Equality Index. In 2013, Newham College in East London once again ranked prominently in the charity’s list of forward-thinking employers.

Dorian Wood is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter who – quite frankly – deserves much wider recognition.Looking like the bastard-love child of Tom Waits, Scott Walker and a Marc and the Mambas-era Marc Almond, he first picked up a cult following with 2007’s self-released album, Bolka – an intoxicating and accomplished collection that combined everything from demented and soulful honkytonk to Bulgarian choral music.
