Brighton and Hove LGBT Switchboard

Switchboard is a charity that has been listening to, supporting and connecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer communities since 1975. Originally a helpline, we have grown to deliver lots of additional services by and for LGBTQ people in Sussex.

You can talk to us confidentially and anonymously about anything that’s on your mind. We support people with a range of questions and we believe that listening can help, whether you are looking for information and support or just need someone to talk to. You can contact us through our helpline, email, or live web chat on our website. We are open 7pm-9:30pm Wednesdays and Thursdays.

We are volunteer run and try to ensure someone will always answer you. Sometimes this isn’t possible. If you’re unable to get through, please try again.
