Liberate (Guernsey)

Liberate is a Guernsey-registered charity established in 2014 to promote fairness and equality. Liberate also provides support for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning (LGBTQ+) community, together with their friends and families within the Bailiwick of Guernsey (Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm).
We want to stand as positive role models and provide a voice for the Bailiwick’s LGBTQ+ community.
We campaign for positive change in laws and opinions with the aim to promote acceptance of everyone identifying as LGBTQ+. We aim to do this with the input and support of the LGBTQ+ community.
We wish to put in place support services for LGBTQ+ people growing up and growing old within the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
We wish to create an island community where everyone stands in equal footing with their neighbour regardless of their ability, age, beliefs, gender identity, race, religion, sex or sexuality.
There is a separate but affiliated branch of Liberate in Jersey who have a wider ‘equality’ remit not only supporting the LGBTQ+ community but all minority groups.
As part of our affiliation we work together to host ChannelIslandsPride.org with the event switching between Guernsey and Jersey most years.
