Words From Someone Who’s Been There

Somewhere today, someone is questioning who they are.

Someone is wondering if life will ever feel easier.

Someone is searching for reassurance that they’re going to be okay.

At Pride Letters, we believe no one should face that journey alone.

We invite LGBTQ+ people, allies, friends and family to share anonymous letters of hope, reassurance and lived experience with someone they will probably never meet. Every letter is written by someone who remembers what it felt like to need those words themselves.

Not because they have all the answers.

But because they’ve been there.

Whether you’re here looking for comfort, searching for hope or ready to share your own story, Pride Letters exists to remind you of one simple truth.

You are not alone.

Because sometimes, the right words at the right time can change a life.

Pride Letter

If today feels overwhelming, you’re not alone.

Whether you’re looking for reassurance, hope or simply a reminder that someone understands, you can request a Pride Letter written by a member of the LGBTQ+ community who has chosen to share their journey with someone like you.

Every letter is anonymous and delivered directly to your inbox in a discreet email, with no visible branding or identifying subject line, so you can read it privately, safely and in your own time.

Because sometimes, the right words at the right time can change everything.

Write a

Pride Letter

Someone, somewhere, is facing a moment you’ve already lived through.

Perhaps they’re questioning who they are. Perhaps they’re wondering if life will ever feel easier. Perhaps they simply need to know they’re not alone.

By writing an anonymous Pride Letter, you can share your lived experience with someone you’ll probably never meet, but whose life you may never forget.

Every letter is shared anonymously and delivered in a discreet email, protecting the privacy of both the writer and the reader.

Because the words you once needed could become the words someone else is waiting to hear.

Frequently asked questions and how it works

Who is Pride Letters for?

Pride Letters is for anyone within the LGBTQ+ community who may need reassurance, encouragement, or a reminder that they are not alone. It is also for those who feel ready to share their lived experience in support of someone else this could be lived through themselves or through supporting family or friends.

What will I receive if I request a letter?

If you request a Pride Letter, you will receive a thoughtful, anonymous message via e-mail written by a member of the community. It will be sent directly to your inbox in a discreet email, allowing you to read it privately and in your own time. The message is screened by a member of the team and there will be nothing to identity either side.

What should I write if I want to send a letter?

There is no required format. You can share a personal experience, words of encouragement, or reflections that helped you through a difficult time. This might not be your experience but that you have shared when supporting a family member or friend. We ask that all submissions remain respectful, supportive, and mindful of the wellbeing of others. Please try to not use names or anything that could identify the person.

Is it anonymous?

Yes. We do not publish names or identifying details. All letters are handled with care to ensure privacy and respect for both the sender and the recipient.

Does it cost anything?

No. Pride Letters is completely free to use. Requesting and submitting letters will always be free of charge.

Are you a crisis or mental health service?

No. Pride Letters is a peer-support initiative and does not replace professional mental health, medical, or crisis services. If you are in immediate danger, please call 999. If you need urgent emotional support, you can contact Samaritans on 116 123 (free, 24/7) or visit your nearest A&E.

Where can I find additional LGBTQ+ support in the UK?

If you would like to speak to someone directly, you can contact Switchboard LGBT+ Helpline on 0300 330 0630 (10am–10pm) or via online chat and email at switchboard.lgbt. They provide confidential support for anyone across the LGBTQ+ community.

You can also visit Mind (mind.org.uk) for mental health resources and guidance.
