Be part of an exciting new on-line site for community building between LGBTI generations: an innovative venture to foster age-transcending friendships.
A special time in history
The LGBTI community has never in the past had a visible, accessible ‘older generation’ to turn to for a sense of history, mentorship, and a different perspective on life as an LGBTI person. We believe that intergenerational connections enrich us all and build a true, multi-dimensional community, with opportunities to share companionship, knowledge, skills and interests.
Commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation for their event, A Better Life, this song is composed out of the stories of older LGBT people. It is sung by members of Out Aloud Choir, Sheffield, written by Sally Goldsmith and arranged and directed by Val Regan. Photos by Jo Hanley and Anton Want.
Aged care providers in WA will soon have the opportunity to receive free one-day training to help them develop inclusive services that are safe and welcoming for LGBTI older adults.
This week, GRAI finalised an agreement with the National LGBTI Health Alliance to deliver LGBTI sensitivity training to the aged care sector in WA. The training will suit residential facilities, retirement villages, community care providers and services engaging with older members of the community.
