London Lesbian & Gay Switchboard (LLGS) provides an information, support and referral service for lesbians, gay men, bisexual, trans people and anyone who needs to consider issues around their sexuality.

All volunteers identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual, so you know that the person answering the telephone will have an understanding of your situation. Our volunteers won't judge you or tell you what to do. They will, though, provide suitable support, offer appropriate information and discuss relevant options.

The helpline operates from 10am to 11pm, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. Our helpline number is now 0300 330 0630, although the old number remains active. The rate is the same as for local calls, even from mobiles, and the number is included in both landline and mobile bundles.

For 37 years London Lesbian & Gay Switchboard has provided a telephone helpline service. We have now extended our services to include instant messaging and email support. These, combined with our information database, mean you have four ways to seek help when you need it.

All our services are provided by volunteers, so if you have a few hours to spare each month please visit our Volunteering section for more information.
