As we reach the end of LGBTQ+ History Month, we’re reflecting on our visit to the Age UK Richmond upon Thames Rainbow Café and the importance of inclusive, community‑led spaces for LGBTQ+ elders.

In our latest blog, we look at the challenges LGBTQ+ people can face in later‑life care — and how collaboration with partners such as Princess Alice Hospice, Landmark Arts Centre, and eBay.co.uk is helping Age UK Richmond create safer, more welcoming support locally.

👉 Read the full story on our website.

Age UK Richmond’s Rainbow Café has become a cherished space for LGBTQ+ elders. It’s a gentle, agenda-free space to meet others with shared experiences, enjoy good conversation over coffee and build lasting friendships.
