Fighting With Pride
Nominee Profile
Location: Nelson
Fighting With Pride (FWP) is a military charity, created on the 20th anniversary of the complete lifting of the ‘Gay Ban’ in 2000 where thousands of LGBTQ+ service personnel were removed or forced from service and abandoned, having served with pride.
It is our aim to restore the military covenant and bring this community back into their military family.
FWP also supports current serving personnel, their families and those leaving the services today to be proud members of the LGBTQ+ Armed Forces Community.
We work with veteran supporting organisations to build capacity for LGBTQ+ veteran support, to recognise their service and help resolve the challenges they face in their lives beyond military service.
