ABOUT SWEET BAKE OFF
SWEET Bake Off is the annual fundraiser for Gay and Lesbian Community Services (GLCS).
GLCS aims to promote the wellbeing of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer and other sexuality, sex and gender diverse people in Western Australia.
GLCS is funded by the Health Department of Western Australia to provide a peer Counselling Line (9420 7201) for support and information about issues relating to WA's Sex, Sexuality and Gender Diverse Community. We also provide trainings for professionals and organisations and peer social support opportunities for our community.
SWEET Bake Off started in 2009 to raise funds and mark the 35th birthday of GLCS services. SWEET aims to raise the community profile and much needed funds for GLCS services.
Brief History of GLCS
GLCS was established in 1974 as the Homosexual Counselling and Information Service of WA. In 1984 the name was changed to the Gay Counselling Service of WA and the organisation became an incorporated body. In keeping with worldwide trends to recognise the contribution and needs of women in the community, the name of the service was changed in 1990 to the Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service of WA (Inc). In 1999 the name was changed again to the Gay and Lesbian Community Services of WA (Inc) to reflect the wider range of services that GLCS provides. We are the oldest service of our kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
