Switchboard is a national LGBTQIA+ support line.
It is for anyone, anywhere in the country, at any point in their journey. They can discuss anything related to sexuality and gender identity. Whether it’s sexual health, relationships or just the way you’re feeling. It is a space to explore, talk and be heard.
All their volunteers identify as LGBTQIA+ and know how difficult navigating some of these issues can be. They will talk things through, so that you have the options to make your own decisions. Switchboard is a non-judgmental space, and whatever you tell them will stay confidential.
The support line is completely free and available by:
- Phone T: 0800 0119100 (10 am-10 pm every day)
- Chat: Use the “Chat with us” icon in the bottom right corner of the Switchboard website (10 am-10 pm every day)
- Email: [email protected] (aim to reply within 5 days)
