Description:
On November 15th we had the pleasure and honor of hosting a special edition of out LGBTIQ+ History Club, to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Brighton & Hove LGBT Switchboard
.
This video is a moving and incredible testimony of the work carried out by Switchboard phoneline volunteers over the last 45 years. Listen to anonymised call logs and look at some handwritten notes by volunteers documenting calls and notes from their befriending service, dating back to the late 1970s.
We are thankful to Natasha Walker and Clare Plumley for guiding us through exploring this rich history.
This event is part of Brighton LGBTQ+ History Club, supported by Brighton Museums and National Lottery Heritage Fund
