Older LGBTQ+ are often dismissed by younger age groups, rarely have family to care for them, and other issues that are invisible to the community.
As we make friends and support each other at the coffee and chat we might develop a voice about the issues affecting us.
Who is this for? Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer people of more or less retirement age, and their partners, and younger volunteer supporters.
From East London, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Newham, Waltham Forest, Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge, Havering, Essex, and other places with easy transport to Stratford.
We link with service providers in East London and beyond to feed back issues that LGBTQ+ face as they grow older.
