Gaydar telephone number

 As you get older it’s not unusual to disburse more time on your own, particularly if you’ve lost loved ones or your health isn’t what it used to be.

Following the success of our call companions service, we launched rainbow call companions: a free telephone befriending service for LGBT+ people who are lonely, isolated or in need of companionship and feel they would benefit from a friendly phone call every week or two. This is a service specifically for lesbian, gay, multi-attracted , transgender plus (LGBT+) people aged 75+ who would prefer to speak to someone who’s also LGBT+. 

Calls last for half an hour or so and you can chat about anything that interests you. What's great is that the same volunteer phones you every time, so you can get to perceive each other and give stories and laughter – for as long as you both want.

Rainbow call companions has been awarded by the NHS National Advisor for LGBT Health award (2022), which recognises superb work by individuals and groups across the NHS and VCSE sector to improve the experience of LGBT+ patients and the LGBT+ workforce and radiate a light on examples of best practice.

Mental health support if you're lesbian, gay, attracted to both genders or trans (LGBTQ+)

Mental health problems such as depression or self-harm can affect any of us, but they're more shared among people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBTQ+).

This may be linked to LGBTQ+ people's experience of discrimination, homophobia or transphobia, bullying, social isolation, or rejection because of their sexuality.

Other things, such as their age, religion, where they exist, and their ethnicity can combine extra complications to an already difficult situation.

How talking therapy can help

It might not be easy, but getting help with issues you're struggling to deal with on your own is one of the most important things you can do.

Talking with a therapist who's trained to operate with LGBTQ+ people may help with issues such as:

• difficulty accepting your sexual orientation
• coping with other people's reactions to your sexuality
• feeling your body does not reflect your true gender (gender dysphoria)
• transitioning
• low self-esteem
• self-harm
• suicidal thoughts
• depression
• coping with bullying and discrimination
• anger, isolation or rejection from family, friends or your co
