Welcome to the Carrey Friend Web Site

Carrey Friend Isle of Man Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Info is a voluntary organisation and registered charity which between January 1991 and August 2002 operated a phone line service for three hours one evening each week. In that time it took over 2,500 calls offering a befriending, support and information service. Calls fell in number and it was difficult to recruit, train and keep volunteers. This web site was established in May 2000. In its first 8 months it had nearly 1,000 hits. In 2001 it had over 2,500. Since then hits have increased steadily and we are now running at about 5,000 hits per year. The forums were established in 2003. They have proved popular with many thousands of visits each year.

Volunteers
Now that we do not have to rely on premises and telephone lines it is much easier and far less labour intensive to provide a satisfactory level of service to the local gay community.

We would of course welcome on board any volunteers who would be willing to raise funds or who could provide web design skills or help with moderating the forums.

We now offer befriending, support and information by e-mail or post primarily to gay men and women living on the Island. In certain circumstances we can also offer befriending and face to face contact. We try to produce an occasional regular newsletter which is posted to and archived on the site and can be sent by e-mail or post. Join the forums to experience the Isle of Man LGBT community and find out all the news. All forum members are sent the e news letter automatically. Contact info@gayinfo.org.im to be out on the mailing list for an e-mail or post copy without joining. For information, support or befriending contact friend@gayinfo.org.im

All of what we do has to be funded. Please feel free to send a donation or why not shop via our internet shopping link. Every time you spend we get a commission.
