We are on the lookout for people to join Switchboard as Tech Volunteers. This means you won’t be answering phone calls, responding to chat messages or emails sent to us by service users, but you’ll instead be on-call to triage any technical issues faced by our Listening Volunteers.

We know that for some LGBTQIA+ people, the festive season can bring a mixture of emotions. For some of us, it’s a welcome pause; for others, it can feel isolating, stressful, or maybe challenging. However you feel, we want you to know that our support is available.

We would like to say a BIG “thank you” to everyone who has supported Switchboard recently by raising funds. We couldn't continue our vital work supporting the UK's LGBTQIA+ community and its allies without you.

Happy Pansexual Pride Day! 💗💛💙

Pansexual is a term used to describe someone who is sexually or romantically attracted to anyone, regardless of their gender.
