Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Issues
 

Groups of older people

 

Since running a research project in 2005 on the needs of older LGBT people we have striven to improve our services to older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

These are some of the initiatives we are involved in:

  • We were awarded the Navajo charter mark in June 2006 and are currently supporting Navajo in a funding bid for a charter mark project worker
  • We regularly attend LGBT forums such as the Lancashire Sexual Equalities Forum, the Navajo Projects group and the Age Concern National Network for older LGBT people
  • We have been involved in consultations to ensure the rights of LGBT people are safeguarded in the new Equalities Bill.
  • We are running a reminiscence project for LGBT History Month in February 2006.

If you are interested in sharing your story with us or interviewing an older person for the project please contact us
