A new monthly meetup in Glasgow for LGBT+ people aged 50 and over.Building on the theme of monthly meetups for coffee, chat and meeting new and old friends, LGBT Age is launching a new meetup for our community of older LGBT+ people in Glasgow: LGBT Age Goes to Town.
LGBT Age Goes to Town is an opportunity to meet once a month at a regular time (when possible) in a different location around Glasgow which will give opportunity to explore what is onsite or nearby.
We are planning to meet every month on the second Tuesday (2-4pm).
Sessional worker Lynda Peachey will be our regular staff member in attendance with support from other team members or volunteers.
No advance registration or sign-up required, drop-ins are welcome.
To keep up to date with all upcoming LGBT Age Goes to Town, sign up to our Virtual Hug newsletter for monthly updates at: www.lgbthealth.org.uk/subscribe
