Story

Hello! In July I'll be swimming the Middle Dock at Canary Wharf to raise money for Switchboard.

I've been a keen swimmer for a while and have recently taken things beyond the pool... so donate what you can and I'll push myself with the distance, brave the chilly waters of the Thames and raise some money for Switchboard, the national LGBTQIA+ support line.

I've been volunteering with Switchboard since last year. We're a non-judgemental listening and sign-posting service run by LGBTQIA+ people. We connect with our community through phone calls, instant messaging and email to provide support when it's needed the most.

If you're looking for a way to support the LGBTQIA+ community this pride season, here's your chance.
