Proudly Providing Support for the LGB Community in the West of Ireland since 1997

OUTWEST is a social and support group for Gay men, Lesbian women and Bisexual people in the West of Ireland. We hold social meetings every second month, and discos and other events several times a year.
Check out our News and Events section for more details.

CLOTHING APPEAL
Have you any old clothing? Any old shoes? Any old bedding or other fabrics? It doesn’t really matter too much about their condition – just as long as they are not soiled.
OutWest will be able to recycle such items to raise much needed funds for the OutWest Gay Helpline.
So if you can donate such items please bring them along to any OutWest meeting (bi-monthly social, or one of our discos) and hand them to any OutWest committee member. You will be helping a very worthy cause.

*Update* This appeal raised a grand total of 364 euro in 2011
Let's see if we can beat this in 2012!

Congratulations to Northwest Pride
OutWest would like to congratulate Northwest Pride on being selected as the Community Organisation of the Year at the 2010 GALAS (Irish Gay And Lesbian Awards)

Some Thank Yous

OUTWEST would like to publicly thank the members of the Multifarious LGBT Spiritual Group - that met in the Franciscan Friary in Multifarnan, Co Westmeath for the past number of years - for their very generous donation in July 2010 of just over 500 euro to the OUTWEST Gay Helpline. It could not have come at a more welcome time!
OUTWEST would also like to publicly thank the ex-members of REACH, a former Dublin-based group of gay Christians, for their very welcome donation in December 2011 of 150 euros towards the running of the OUTWEST Gay Helpline
