Story
June is known as Pride month; it is a month dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ+ communities all around the world. At Acuity we stand with the LGBTQ+ community supporting our proud team members and are invested in creating an environment that promotes equality, diversity and inclusion.
The unprecedent time we all experienced in the past 14 months has led to Mental Health, anxiety, depression and loneliness. These had a crippling effect on the LGBTQ+ people both older and younger generations. During these challenging times organisations such as the LGBT+ SWITCHBOARD and their volunteers handled a records numbers of calls. They were there to listen, support and in many cases of the callers, were only mainly friendly voices around.
This year ACUITY is proud to support the LGBT+SWICHBOARD and help them to raise money and awareness to ensure they continue their amazing work supporting the LGBTQ+ Community across the UK - 365 days a year.
We have arranged a weekly activities for our Teams, Clients and followers to learn, support and be part of a truly impactful project.

We operate a telephone line, instant messaging and email service from 10am to 10pm, 365 days a year.It's so critical that we talk about mental health, tackle stigmas and work to reduce levels of loneliness across the LGBTQ+ communities now more than ever. These are some of the many reasons that Switchboard exists, and has done since 1974.
