Switchboard the LGBT+ Helpline is a confidential helpline open to the LGBTQ+ communities and beyond, for anyone who wants to talk about gender identity, sexuality, sexual health and emotional wellbeing. We operate a telephone line, instant messaging and email service from 10am to 10pm, 365 days a year.

It's so critical that we talk about mental health, tackle stigmas and work to reduce levels of loneliness across the LGBTQ+ communities now more than ever. These are some of the many reasons that Switchboard exists, and has done since 1974.
