Switchboard Victoria has just announced this new program, which is funded by the Victorian Government.
The goals are to:
reduce social isolation for older LGBTI+ people
tackle ageism
build long-term improvement and change for older LGBTI+ people
Working with partners, community members, and local organisations, Pride in Ageing will centre the experience and needs of older LGBTI+ people to design and help build our own solutions. We want to pilot meaningful, place-based solutions that are peer-designed, culturally safe, and locally relevant.
Individuals and/or organisations can register interest to be part of this project.
