Switchboard

Through all the crises, celebrations and changing attitudes in the last half a century, Switchboard has been here for our community. And today is no different. If you need someone to talk to, reach out to Switchboard. ☎️: 0800 0119 100 💬: switchboard.lgbt

Last week our volunteers had a fab time at #BiPride 🩷💙💜 @biprideuk's mission is to create spaces where people who experience attraction beyond gender can be freely visible & celebrate themselves & their identities. Something we are very proud to be a part of!!

Today is #WorldSexualHealthDay. Switchboard is here to provide support and information for all aspects of sexual health within the LGBTQIA+ community. We're available 365 days a year from 10am-10pm, via phone, chat or email— wherever you feel most comfortable.

Sometimes we just need to talk to someone who "gets it". At Switchboard, all our volunteers identify as LGBTQIA+ and know how difficult navigating some of that can be. Our support line is free and available 10am-10pm every single day. 0800 0119 100 | switchboard.lgbt

If you have questions about safer sex practices, STIs, how to find your local sexual health clinic or need mental health support, our volunteers, who all identify as LGBTQIA+, are trained to provide a confidential and non-judgmental listening service for our community.

The best way to reduce your risk of an infection is to use a condom consistently and correctly with new or casual partners and to get tested. The NHS provides free, confidential STI testing to detect any potential infections and prevent you from passing them on to others.

We're looking for a Volunteer Community Lead to join our passionate, growing staff team! Could this be the job for you? Learn more and apply today: buff.ly/3yFAlHq
