Out & Wild Festival announce Switchboard LGBT+ Helpline as their charity partner for 2024.

Out & Wild, the UK’s biggest festival for LGBTQ+ women and those who are non-binary is pleased to announce Switchboard LGBT+ Helpline as their charity partner for 2024.

The Festival, which takes place in Pembrokeshire, Wales from 31st May to 2nd of June 2024, is focused on connecting the community through shared experiences and is a fun, safe and supportive space for LGBTQ+ women and those who are non-binary. There are dozens of workshops and acts, from wellness and workouts, sports and hikes, spoken word and talks. In the evenings, expect music and comedy, silent DJ sets and campfire talks.

As part of our year-round partnership, Switchboard will be given free tickets for volunteers and service users. Out & Wild will also support Switchboard by recruiting volunteers and raising funds.

Switchboard will promote Out & Wild Festival and events to their user base. With so few permanent spaces designed for LGBTQ+ women and those who are non-binary in the UK, these events provide supportive space to meet others.

Polly Shute, Co-founder of Out & Wild Festival and Events says.

“We are so pleased to partner with Switchboard LGBT+ Helpline. This is a partnership that will run across service provision, volunteering and fundraising. It will directly support

LGBTQ+ women and those who are non-binary, who often feel events and spaces are not designed for them."
