No one should face abuse for who they are. We’re strengthening hate crime laws. We’re changing the law so that crimes driven by hate toward someone’s disability, sex, sexual orientation, or transgender identity will now mean tougher sentences.

**URGENT** Important press release from FWP about a letter to MOD notifying them of potential legal challenge over rejections of Veterans from the Financial Recognition Scheme Read here fightingwithpride.org.uk/news/mod-prese…

@ArmyBenFund We thank you for the grant which will make a real difference for LGBTQ+ Veterans in the North of England

🏳️‍🌈February is LGBTQ+ History Month, which gives us the opportunity to reflect on the significant contributions to the Army made by LGBTQ+ service personnel. It also allows us to consider the difficulties experienced by some; particularly those who were impacted by the ban on gay people serving in the British Armed Forces, and who may find themselves in need of support from the ABF today. Our latest grant of £40,000 will help @fightingwpride fund a new support worker in the North of England. This role will enable face-to-face assistance to Army veterans who experienced discrimination or discharge under the ban, connecting them with trusted services, from mental health and wellbeing support to safeguarding and financial advice, ensuring they receive joined up, consistent care, and are not left to navigate complex systems alone.
