Scotland: GALOP
Experiencing anti-LGBT+ hate in any form can have a huge impact, and we're proud to be able to support all LGBT+ people in having a safe space to talk and discuss your experiences.
We're stronger when we stand together in solidarity with each other, and we know that the difficulties of the past year in lockdown have made us all more aware of how important community and solidarity is.
Let's continue to empower each other and fight for a safe, just and fair world for all LGBT+ people.

Message from Andrew Kirkham (Director)
Myself and my business partner Matthew have recently opened a local Garage which specialises in MOT, Diagnostics, Servicing and Repairs.
I come from a military background myself, so I understand the importance of ensuring that there are good reliable systems in place in times when dependants are deployed overseas or on exercise away from loved ones.
Vehicles are a critical part of all our lives and when they go wrong they can be a real hindrance.
We would like to support the Military community in a way which allows us to be a safe, reliable and effective service in those times of need, along with ensuring the long term safe maintenance of your vehicles.
We participate in the Defence Discount Service and Blue light service for 20% discount, with that, we will honour 20%, if your partner is within the MOD.
