"This is a safe space, where you don't have to explain yourself."💜
This LGBT+ History Month, we're reflecting on our conversation with @ageukrichmond.bsky.social’s The Rainbow Café, a group that gives local older people the chance to connect and enjoy a chat: https://bit.ly/4a9SCv5
Thank you to Hallie from @ruils.bsky.social and Aydee from @ageukrichmond.bsky.social for organising and running these meetings so efficiently, we’re looking forward to see everyone in the new year!
Please help us continue be here for the older people who depend on us, like Anne and Peter, both in their nineties, who are grateful for our support. Their stories reflect the experiences of so many in the borough who will quietly struggle every day without us.
