Email: keith@lgbthealth.org.uk

Keith joined the organisation in February, 2021. His role is to coordinate and develop the Telefriending Service which is available to all LGBT community members in Scotland who are over 50. In the 1980’s Keith worked for Edinburgh Gay Switchboard and also for Gay Scotland Magazine. He maintained a keen interest in LGBT politics and equality rights. His particular interest is how we meet the specific and growing needs of an ageing LGBT population, a section of our community that is sometimes forgotten by the community itself let alone wider society.
