New Phoneline Service Launches!
Traveller Pride launch groundbreaking helpline for LGBT+ Travellers
On Monday 18th September, Traveller Pride launch the first UK helpline for LGBT+ Traveller people to speak to a fully qualified mental health practitioner. The helpline which will be open on Monday evenings (from 5pm - 8:30pm) will provide a space for LGBT+ Travellers’ to seek informal and confidential advice or information or to open a door to speaking to someone else who has similar lived experience.
The new helpline will improve access for LGBT+ Traveller people across the UK who wish to access the service and to draw on the organisations’ unique resources.
Traveller Pride is a grassroots, volunteer-led collective that works to promote inclusive spaces for Travellers in LGBT+ spaces and LGBT+ people in Traveller spaces. The helpline is the first of its kind to offer a listening ear or practical support to people over the age of 16 who, as individuals who experience double discrimination are marginalised in multiple ways.
Speaking on the launch of the phone helpline, Tyler Hatwell, Director of Traveller Pride and Psychotherapist said:
“This is something we have been wanting to do since we launched, we’re thrilled to bring it to life. LGBT+ Travellers can often feel isolated and like they won’t be understood, accepted or held; I hope this is a space where those concerns aren’t there and they can bring and be themselves.”
Isolation is a killer and for LGBT+ Travellers, Traveller Pride, works to create enough spaces of contact so that this minority within a minority doesn't feel so alone.
Monday 18th September marks one year since the death by suicide of George Ward, better known as Ru Paul’s Drag Race’s Cherry Valentine, who appeared alongside Traveller Pride in his BBC documentary “Gypsy, Queen & Proud”.
“George was a mental health nurse outside of being Cherry and was so enthusiastic about the helpline idea.” added Tyler, “Launching the helpline on the anniversary of George’s passing away means a lot. It means a lot to be able to do this on this day. Traveller Pride wouldn’t be in a position to do this without the platform what George gave us and I’m so proud of the impact he had, I believe he’d be proud too.”
The helpline service is available on Monday evenings from 5-8:30pm. If you are a LGBT+ Traveller you can call normally or on Whatsapp on 07395 355 066 or (freephone) 0800 233 5066.

Such an important helpline for LGBT+ Travellers! If anyone is making videos to help spread the word, using an export alpha tool is a game-changer. It’s a web-based AI background remover that makes adding transparent video overlays for awareness campaigns super easy. Huge congratulations to Traveller Pride!
Starting a research project often requires a clear overview of what's available. The homepage here functions as a useful directory, helping you pinpoint relevant sections without guesswork. It's particularly handy for cross-referencing topics across different fields. For an efficient first step, this wiki's front-page guide can streamline your process.
When evaluating a site builder, the real test is how much manual work remains after the first page loads. This particular offering claims to eliminate most of that by auto-generating a full site across ten different site types, then letting you switch the entire visual direction through 21 industry themes. That combination addresses two common pain points: starting from a blank canvas and getting stuck with a design that does not fit your niche. SEO readiness is baked in, which is a relief for non-technical users who usually discover metadata and structure only after publishing. Registration is free and does not ask for a card, so you can run a practical test without financial commitment. The homepage at www.iqjz.com explains…
This is a meaningful and much-needed service, especially with its focus on confidential support from someone who understands the overlapping experiences involved. Creative tools such as [an online photo-to-drawing converter can offer one small avenue for self-expression, but accessible listening spaces like this helpline are essential.
This is a much-needed service, especially for people who may feel isolated or unsure where they can speak openly and be understood. Clear, accessible information matters for support like this, and resources such as an image text editing tool can help make visual notices easier to update and share.
