LGBT Ireland is a national organization underpinned by localized knowledge and responses. Together with our network members, we provide support, training, and advocacy which aims to improve the lives of LGBTI+ people, their friends and family across Ireland.

Our Telefriending Service offers a once a week telephone call by a friendly LGBTI+ Volunteer who is trained and garda vetted. Telefriending provides friendship, security and support to alleviate loneliness, isolation and improve overall mental health and well-being. It is also a great opportunity for members to talk regularly with other people who also identify as members of the LGBTI+ community.

If you wish to express an interest in volunteering as an LGBTI+ Telefriend Volunteer, please complete the Application Form below:
