Online Focus Group: Shaping a New LGBTQ+ Veterans Group for the Midlands
Have you served in the Armed Forces and identify as LGBTQ+?
We’re inviting LGBTQ+ veterans to take part in a friendly, online focus group to help shape a new peer‑led LGBTQ+ veterans’ group for the Midlands, based in Wolverhampton.
We want to hear what you would like from a local LGBTQ+ veterans’ group. What would feel supportive, useful, welcoming, and worth attending?
What to expect
– A safe, respectful online space
– A chance to share ideas, experiences, and priorities
– An opportunity to help co‑design a peer‑led group grounded in what matters to LGBTQ+ veterans
– No pressure to speak. You take part in a way that feels right for you
The focus group will be facilitated by Fighting with Pride and Tough Enough to Care, two organisations experienced in supporting veterans and creating inclusive, trauma‑aware spaces.
Who it’s for
LGBTQ+ veterans from any service or era
Those living in, or connected to, the Midlands
Whether you’ve been involved in groups before or not, all perspectives are welcome.
Ideally you will be based in the Midlands but that is not necessarily a requirement, but your insight will help shape something meaningful — a group built with LGBTQ+ veterans, not just for them!
If you are excited to be part of this Focus Group them please contact Sharon @FWP.
