The Reception Service at the centre attended to 450 people last year. Procedures relating to foreigner status and asylum, requests about basic needs and benefits and psychological advice accounted for almost 50% of enquiries. Of all those attended to, 422 cases were referred to legal and psychological advice services at the centre for trans people.

The reception service has attended to 1,637 people since the centre opened.

The facility also offers a broad range of options for culture and associations which over the last four years has brought together nearly 90,000 people. Meetings for LGBTI organisations, workshops, training, round tables, exhibitions, film screenings, citizen celebrations and concerts all form part of the programme at the centre.
