This new service is an internet chat room for young people aged 13 to 19 who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or questioning their sexuality. It's been developed by young people from the Blag Youth Group in Southend-on-Sea, who have taken part in training on information and advice work and will be on hand to offer support to visitors. The chat room is open from 7-10pm every Tuesday and young people from across the country are invited to visit. The group launched blagchat at this year's Pride Parade.
