Volunteer with Fighting With Pride

Volunteering to help FWP deliver it's activities is a great way to get involved, meet new people and give back to our community.

Be part of our 2030 journey

Our ambition is not simply to look back at what has happened. It is to help shape what happens next.

As we work towards 2030, volunteers will help Fighting With Pride:

  • Help LGBTQ+ veterans, serving personnel and families find connection, support and belonging.
  • Preserve our history
  • Help ensure the stories and experiences of LGBTQ+ people who served are recorded, respected and remembered.
  • Champion recognition and justice
  • Support our work to ensure LGBTQ+ veterans are recognised for their service and receive the recognition and support they deserve.
  • Build understanding
  • Share experiences, raise awareness and help organisations understand the needs of the LGBTQ+ Armed Forces Community.
  • Strengthen inclusion
  • Help create a future Armed Forces Community where LGBTQ+ people can serve, leave service and live their lives with dignity and belonging.
  • Create lasting change

Use your time, skills and voice to help influence organisations, services and communities for the better.

Volunteering with Fighting With Pride is about more than giving your time. It’s about being part of a community and helping shape a better future.

Volunteer with Fighting With Pride

Whether you are a veteran, currently serving, a family member, or an ally, your time, experience and voice can make a difference.

Fighting With Pride is the Armed Forces LGBTQ+ charity supporting, connecting and advocating for LGBTQ+ veterans, serving personnel and their families.

We preserve and share stories, champion justice and recognition, build connections and help ensure that LGBTQ+ members of the Armed Forces Community experience dignity, belonging and equal opportunity.

From representing Fighting With Pride at Pride and Armed Forces events, to sharing your lived experience, undertaking research, fundraising, or simply helping us reach more people, there are many ways to get involved.

You don’t have to be a veteran to volunteer. You just need to care about making a difference.
