"#KeshetUK, the #UK’s #Jewish #LGBT+ education and training charity, has announced a new partnership with #Switchboard, the national #LGBTQIA+ helpline, to deliver specialist training and guidance on inclusion to all Switchboard volunteers.

Every year, Switchboard handles around 15,000-30,000 calls messages and emails. According to the 2021 UK census there are approximately 9,600 LGBT+ #Jews in #England and #Wales.

Through this new partnership, KeshetUK will build on Switchboard’s existing training, enhancing volunteer confidence and ensuring they can continue to provide informed, inclusive support to callers who identify as both Jewish and LGBT+."

Somehow I missed this - they posted up the intervew with my late partner, John Lindsay as part of The Log Books podcast Series 4, episode 1. He was one of the founders of Gay Switchboard.

Tash spoke at John's funeral. Sadly I missed the book launch...I would have been there but missed the email.

I am probably going to cry listening to this. Not many recordings of his voice.

He is featured in the new book as well with I think a photo I took of John.
