We have co-produced participatory action research with 20 practitioners and 11 older LGBTQ+ survivors of domestic abuse. This research highlights the ‘lived experiences’ of the older LGBTQ+ community. it also identifies gaps in policy and service provision. Two short films were made, one of which focuses on the isolation help-seekers experience, the second is from the perspective of help-providers
