Free LGBTQ+ Support Line
Switchboard is the UK’s LGBTQIA+ support line. Every phone call, instant message, or email is answered by a volunteer from the LGBTQIA+ community. Our volunteers have shown up for the community for over fifty years, and we're not going to stop now. We’ve supported millions. Could you be next?

"The service is accessible and is run by volunteers who have similar experiences and an understanding of the complexities of queer identities & relationships." - Anonymous Service User
"There’s nothing quite like helping somebody to thrive. Whether it’s hearing a positive experience of coming out, the excitement of a new relationship, or connecting somebody with a queer hobby group, Switchboard can help people to find community and embrace themselves for who they are." - Anonymous Switchboard Volunteer
We believe everyone deserves the chance to be who they are. We don’t receive any government funding for our listening service, but we know most people agree that no one should struggle alone.
We’ve been there for over 4 million people. We’ve done that as a community. Without government support. Just with each other. If you believe that every LGBTQIA+ person deserves to be heard and accepted for who they are, join us.
Our community is stronger when we show up for each other.
