We offer LGBT+ veterans and serving personnel the opportunity to access support and identify potential barriers. We plan to host events designed to challenge stereotypes and foster a deeper understanding of the unique challenges experienced by the LGBT+ Armed Forces Community.

Right now we’re working with LGBT+ veterans to help formulate how this service will look to help you in moving forward. This could be through workshops, discussions, guest speakers, online community catch-ups, or monthly walks, participants can share their experiences and insights in a safe and inclusive environment.

Our goal is to create a vibrant community where everyone feels valued and heard. We also provide resources and tools to help navigate personal and professional challenges, ensuring that no one feels isolated. By bridging gaps and building connections, we strive to empower individuals to thrive both during and after their service.

Where We Cover..

Our team provide a bespoke service that covers Plymouth and South-East Cornwall, and our small size allows us great flexibility and adaptability to our clients' needs. Our support could come in the form of one-to-one provision or in weekly social sessions, both of which are free to access. We are currently formulating the best way to launch this group to ensure everybody is comfortable and heard. We believe in the power of community and connection, fostering an environment where individuals can share experiences, learn new skills, and build resilience together. Our dedicated staff and volunteers are committed to offering a listening ear, practical advice, and a range of activities designed to enhance well-being and personal development.
