Many LGBTQ people face a number of additional challenges when it comes to bereavement, in addition to universal experiences of grief, pain and sadness.

Switchboard is a charity for LGBTQ people looking for a sense of community, support or information.

Switchboard - BOLD, stands for Bereavement, Older People, Loneliness and Dementia. BOLD was formed to develop a supportive and holistic community that would address a variety of needs. These needs include: social isolation, loss and bereavement, getting older, memory loss, long-term health conditions, dementia and being a carer.

BOLD brings people together: supports, advises, engages and motivates, with effective, professional sign-posting to other appropriate services.
