Ian McKellen Instagram – Switchboard @switchboardlgbt, the national LGBT+ Helpline, has a new *FREE* phone number! 0800 0119 100 ☎️ 🎉 Along with the launch of the new number and to highlight their work, Switchboard has collaborated on a short film entitled “The Call” written and directed by @thejordanrossi100 of @rankincreative, featuring the incredible @adamsincerely and voices of @semadivad, @max.harwood & @oliverwickhamuk. The dramatic short focuses on a troubled, nervous, prospective university student struggling with their sexuality. They call Switchboard for advice, which sparks a journey of self-discovery across a series of phone calls to the helpline.
