As Laird Leatherman 2025, I’ve chosen Switchboard to support with fundraising during my title year.

Switchboard delivers essential peer-led support services with an intersectional approach, supporting individuals who are LGBTIQA+ or are impacted by homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and intersex discrimination, as well as their friends, allies and families. Switchboard amplifies LGBTIQA+ voices across initiatives at the community, service delivery and government levels to improve policy, services, responses and outcomes for LGBTIQA+ communities. Their work is made possible by passionate and committed volunteers, staff, members and our allies.

While I am inspired by their work, the difference they have made to so many people is just extraordinary and I know there are so many others that would benefit from their work. But they need more funding to make that happen. So please support their work by donating to this CrowdRaiser, as I know they will appreciate every cent received. And I will be very grateful for your contribution too!

Individual donations above $2 made through online portal will be issued with a tax receipt. 

Also, I would be very grateful for you to share the link to this CrowdRaiser page within your networks. The more people who can help the better!

There will be more fundraising activities organised at the Laird to support Switchboard during my title year. Stay connected on Instagram or Facebook to find out more on upcoming activities. I’m excited to carry Laird Leatherman legacy forward with pride and kindness in my heart and I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you. 

Regards,
