The Switchboard

The Switchboard provides a listening, support, information and signposting service for anyone who needs to discuss issues relating to sexuality or gender identity.

Our volunteers offer a point of contact and solidarity to everyone by being supportive, empathic and inclusive to those who use the service.

overview

The Switchboard volunteers core work is to operate a phone support service seven days a week. 

Its telephone number is 01 872 1055 and you can email them at [email protected].

Our trained volunteers won't judge or tell you what to do; we will provide support and appropriate information and discuss options confidentially.

In addition, The Switchboard Ireland volunteers provide a monthly Married Mens Group.

where your money goes

The Switchboard relies heavily on the good will and support of the community that it supports.
While it doesn't cost a huge fortune to provide the service, we do operate on a shoestring and provide good value for money.

Our trained volunteers give their time for free!

Funds are used to pay general overheads such as rent, phone bills and training costs.

We guarantee that EVERY cent received goes directly to support the services that The Switchboard provides.

history

The Switchboard began life in 1974 as Tel-A-Friend. In the late 1980's to mark decriminalisation, they changed their name to Gay Switchboard. In 2019 the name changed again to The Switchboard. It is the longest-running LGBTQIA+ voluntary organisation in Ireland.
