London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard

London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard was founded on March 4th, 1974. Initially operating for 5 hours each evening, we have expanded with the needs of the community - to provide the service we see today. We aim to provide an information, support and referral service for lesbians, gay men and bisexual people from all backgrounds.

Switchboard aims to:
- maintain comprehensive information on support, social and specialist services of relevance to lesbians, gay men and bisexuals
- raise awareness of sexual health issues including safer sex and to endorse positive personal choice
- offer support and initial advice to all callers on any problems they are facing
- suggest sources of more specialist advice, counseling or other help if callers want it.

Switchboard aims to provide a service which is:
- confidential
- welcoming
- supportive
- non-judgmental
and which promotes a positive attitude to being lesbian, gay or bisexual.

Our helpline number is 020 7837 7324 and the recruitment hotline for volunteers is 020 7837 7606.

Switchboard also operates a UK wide search directory for the LGBT community at www.queery.org.uk
