LGBTQ+ Older People’s Engagement and Support Worker at Switchboard

The BOLD (Bereavement, Older People, and Dementia) project at Brighton & Hove LGBT Switchboard provides support for LGBTQ+ people aged 50 and over, including those living with dementia and those experiencing bereavement. The project aims to reduce loneliness and isolation, promote wellbeing, and ensure older LGBTQ+ people feel seen, connected, and supported.

BOLD delivers a range of activities, including regular social groups, creative sessions, community walks, dementia-friendly meetups, and peer support spaces for carers or those navigating grief. We also provide one-to-one support, signposting, and opportunities for members to shape and lead activities. The project places a strong emphasis on creating inclusive, welcoming environments where older LGBTQ+ people can share experiences, build friendships, and feel part of a caring community.
