Survivor Involvement

Galop is planning a programme to involve LGBT+ survivors of abuse and violence in our work as a charity.

To begin with we have two main aims for this work:
1. LGBT+ survivors will have increased confidence and feel more empowered to speak about their experiences;
2. Galop will ensure that our services, policies and campaigns reflect LGBT+ survivors’ needs.

This survey will help us develop opportunities for survivors to be involved and it is to be completed by LGBT+ survivors of abuse and violence (such as domestic abuse, sexual abuse or violence, forced marriage so-called conversion therapy and so-called honour based violence).

Completing this survey is optional, please consider and put your wellbeing first.

Are you an LGBT+ person who has experience abuse or violence and who has previously accessed any of Galop's services (advocacy, counselling or our helpline)?

YesNo

Thank you for your time! At this time we are only seeking responses from LGBT+ survivors of abuse and/or violence who have previously accessed Galop's services. If you are an LGBT+ survivor who has not used our services but you would like to be involved in future survivor involvement, please share your email address here and we should be in touch in future.
