Today is an opportunity to stand in solidarity with LGBT+ communities and reaffirm our commitment to challenging hate, discrimination and prejudice in all forms.
No one should feel unsafe because of who they are. If you experience or witness hate crime or incidents targeting sexual orientation or gender identity, it is important to report it — your voice matters and helps ensure action can be taken.
📞 You can report incidents to the police, or through third party reporting centres if you would prefer additional support.
🤝 There are also a range of services available across Derbyshire offering specialist support, advice and advocacy for LGBT+ individuals affected by crime.
You can find out more about the support for victims of hate crime on Derbyshire Victim Services, here:

If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out. You are not alone.
