Yesterday, @switchboardLGBT visited our Oxford Team to discuss how small, actionable changes can create significant support in the workplace & beyond. #PrideMonth is the perfect time to celebrate our LGBTQIA+ colleagues and discuss how we can be better allies. 🏳️‍🌈 #TeamOchre

LGBT+ young people face unique challenges when it comes to family. But please know chosen family is just as valid, and you are not alone. If you are struggling or perhaps you're a parent wanting to support your LGBT+ child, please get support. @switchboardLGBT is a great helpline to chat to🫶

Thanks @switchboardLGBT we owe a great debt to the switchboard volunteers who staffed your helpline and took those calls after the Admiral Duncan Bombing. Your ears heard the unimaginable, your words comforted the inconsolable, every day you wonderful people were there for us.
The support that Switchboard provides our community was never more evident than during the aftermath of the bombing when volunteers not only answered hundreds of calls from concerned friends & family but also helped many deal with the after-effects in the following months.

Congratulations & Happy Golden Jubilee @switchboardLGBT. Thanks to all the volunteers and staff over the years who have been pioneers and such a key source of support to our communities. #Heroes #GoldenJubilee
On this day, 50 years ago, Switchboard took its first call. Switchboard owes its existence to the unwavering dedication of countless volunteers spanning the past five decades who have had over 4 million conversations in that time.
