Peter Gibson, Chief Executive Officer of Fighting With Pride, expressed serious concern that government has not sufficiently resourced publicity and outreach on the LGBT Financial Recognition Scheme, or proactively identified and engaged eligible claimants. He told us that government should be doing all it can to identify eligible claimants before the scheme closes in December 2026, including contacting all eligible veterans, and that he felt its current efforts are insufficient.45 We also received written evidence from Hackney Council informing us that it is running drop-in sessions and outreach with potential Windrush Compensation Scheme claimants, in lieu of an effective national campaign. It said misinformation was allowed to spread in the community, which has led to confusion amongst victims as to the remit of the scheme, in the absence of a successful government campaign.46
