Merge with GLCS
The Gay and Lesbian Counselling Service of New South Wales (GLCS) was established in YEAR(ref) and which provides "short term counselling, information and support services" for the lesbian and gay communities within New South Wales. Current support services include men's and women's discussion groups covering coming out and other sexuality-related issues, a telephone counselling service, and a SMART Recovery program dealing with all types of addictive behaviours that is based on cognitive behavioural therapy methods. The GLCS operated out of the Newtown premises of Twenty10 for many years and they moved together to the new Chippendale premises in November 2012. At the same time, an agreement was reached for Twenty10 and the GLCS to merge and operate as "Twenty10 incorporating GLCS NSW"; the merger does not alter the services offered by the GLCS.
