LGBT Age: Impact Report 2017

This report shares the work of LGBT Health and Wellbeing’s LGBT Age Scotland Project. The project, funded by BIG Lottery Fund in Scotland was delivered from 2014 to 2017 to work with LGBT people over 50 across Greater Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Lothians.

The LGBT Age Project set out to provide a range of social, support and volunteering opportunities. The project aimed to reduce the social isolation and marginalisation that LGBT people over 50 often experience. In addition, the project has also provided a strong platform for consultation and for the voices of older LGBT people to be heard in order to help counter the lack of awareness of the lived experience and needs of older LGBT people.

Two Development Workers led on delivery with additional support provided by a Project Assistant and sessional staff. A team of volunteers was established and formed an important part of the development and delivery. Overall management was provided by the LGBT Health management team.
