ORGANISERS of a new help-line in Blackpool say its weekend launch was a success.
The Blackpool Fylde and Wyre Lesbian and Gay Switchboard was launched alongside a fund-raising car boot sale held at the Flamingo nightclub off Talbot Road. The event, raising funds for the Switchboard, was opened by Blackpool's Deputy Mayor, Councillor Allan Matthews. Event spokesman Allan Roe said the launch had gone well, adding: "Coun Matthews paid a warm tribute to the contribution that the gay community makes to the vibrancy of Blackpool."
The help line operates Monday to Thursday, 7.30pm-9.30pm, providing a range of information. Call 621834 for more details.
