About us
Who we are
Switchboard – the LGBT+ helpline, is a small volunteer led charity providing a listening service, and more recently an email and instant messaging support service, for members of the LGBT+ community and wider.
Founded in 1974, we have a long history of involvement in our communities and are located centrally near Kings Cross, London. We have provided support and information to millions of people since our foundation and have been at the forefront of supporting our communities from issues around coming out to listening to those who are isolated or just those who want to talk through their concerns with someone who won’t judge them.
