What are your fundraising goals for this campaign?

Saving crucial services like our Befriending and Telefriending schemes which provide invaluable points of contacts for our members. To continue running our Befriending service at full capacity (with 3 members of staff) it costs £160K a year. 

Strengthening our current services like the Dementia Support groups (for LGBT sufferers and carers) 

Strengthening and expanding our specialist intersectional services such as our BAME/PoC work and our Trans and Non-Binary work 

To raise funds to help us better meet the increasing needs of older LGBTQ+ people in the UK due to the cost of living crisis/austerity and an increasingly hostile environment 

To survive! There isn’t any LGBTQ+ specific older persons charity who can champion LGBTQ+ people at a national level or hold the expertise we do around older LGBTQ+ people.
