Confidential Telephone Support

0141 847 0447

Strathclyde Lesbian and Gay Switchboard provides confidential information and support for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgendered people, cross-dressers and their families and friends - in fact, anyone who is considering issues around sexuality.

Our telephone lines are open every night of the year from 7pm until 10pm. Please read our tips on calling.

We offer telephone support on a range of issues including sexuality, relationships, sexual wellbeing and coming out. We can give you advice on safer sex and information on social organisations, support groups, housing, legal issues, employment and the local gay “scene”. If we can't give you the information ourselves, we can recommend other organisations which may be able to help you. We also run Icebreakers, a monthly social event on the first Sunday of every month.

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

Switchboard provides person-centred support and is an Organisational Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
