Liverpool MP Dan Carden is helping to uncover the "trauma and devastation" caused by a ban on homosexuality in the armed forces.
The Office for Veterans’ Affairs is giving £45,000 to LGBTQ+ charities who support individuals providing testimony to an independent review that is looking into the impact the pre-2000 ban on homosexuality in the military has had on veterans.
The funds will “provide direct support to veterans and their families who are giving a submission to the LGBT Veterans Independent Review, including signposting to mental health and wellbeing support for those who may struggle before, during and after providing testimony”, according to the government’s website.
