Listen Up Report 2021
In August 2022, we released our first ever impact report, Listen Up. Every conversation at Switchboard helps to give a greater understanding of what is happening to LGBTQIA+ people in the UK. The report, will not only provide an insight into what the organisation achieved in 2021, but also reflect on how the unexpected events of 2020 affected the communities they support, and the ways they run their service.DownloadEmotional Well Being Support Pack
DownloadWe’ve put together a pack to help you feel supported, comforted and less alone during this uncertain time. We want to share some tips to help manage anxiety, suggestions on what to do when you’re feeling low, some grounding exercises and a wellness toolbox. It’s all personal and each of us are dealing with different feelings and circumstances – we hope you find something that works for you!
Remember, if you need to talk, we’re here to listen.
