Aims and Values

Regard is a national organisation of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender, queer and intersex people (LGBTQI+) who self-identify as disabled. We follow the Social Model of Disability. This is a way of thinking about disability that says it is society that needs to change by removing the barriers that deny us inclusion and equal rights. As with 90% of LGBTQI+ voluntary organisations, Regard is run by its members for its members and has no paid staff. We are a registered charity number 1056873.

Regard has the following aims:

  • To provide information, advice and support to LGBTQI+ disabled people;
  • To raise awareness and campaign on issues affecting disabled LGBTQI+ people;
  • And to combat social isolation among LGBTQI+ disabled people.
