Dementia Support
For LGBTQ people living with or affected by dementia or concerned about memory loss.
We run supportive and friendly dementia meet ups for people concerned about their memory loss or dementia. Friends, loved ones and carers are welcome too.
Domestic Abuse
Our Domestic Abuse service is for LGBTQ people affected by domestic abuse. We provide support to survivors through our Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs) who are here to support you.
Grief Encounters
Many LGBTQ people face a number of additional challenges when it comes to bereavement, in addition to universal experiences of grief, pain and sadness. This can include LGBTQ discrimination, a failure to acknowledge our relationships, estrangement from our families, legal and financial issues, and exclusion from discussions and decisions made by family members and health care professionals.
LGBTQ Health & Inclusion Project
The Health & Inclusion Project (HIP) promotes LGBTQ health and wellbeing and gives you the chance to have your say about healthcare and council services in Brighton and Hove.
Helpline
Our helpline provides you with support and information and will connect you to the right LGBTQ services or advice. Operated by LGBTQ volunteers 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.
LGBTQ Inclusion Award
The LGBTQ Inclusion Award helps healthcare facilities to address historical inequalities in healthcare outcomes for LGBTQ people, and is a partnership between Switchboard and Trans Alliance Brighton.
