You are selling sex
You are unhappy or unsure about your relationship/sexuality
You have sex with someone more powerful or older than you
You are given clothes, drugs or presents for having sex with someone
You will lose your bed or your home if you do not have sex
You are threatened if you do not agree to have sex
You feel under pressure or expected to have sex

At Barnardo's Young Men's Project we offer:

Someone who will listen without judging
Information and advice on safer sex, safer drug use and other related issues
Practical support in accessing suitable temporary and long term accommodation, education and GUM clinic

Hamilton Hall

Gay men have a very special gift. Intuition. ( as well as fab dress sense and shopping) and yet many are not in tune with their innate gifts. Hamiltion Hall is a venue where you can share in many of the avenues open to you in order to find some inner truths in which to find harmony in your life.

The gay community tends to destroy and is hardly supportive of many and tends to belittle and deny many their journey. Even in this enlightened and open time, sex workers are abused physically and emotionally and the need for acceptance - FROM WITHIN YOURSELF - is important.
