Out & About LGBTQ

Voluntary befriending service for older LGBTQ people in and around Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

From on the stage to behind the scenes - we love our theatre and are working hard to bring you a reopening #experience like no other. On #WorldTheatreDay we both celebrate the past and look forward to the future ♥️ #backonstage #wewillreturn #tunbridgewells

Claire & her client went for a lovely walk in the sun!

We all have an elder in our lives, in one shape or another. As lockdown ends, many older people will still be nervous about going outside, so please don't forget to check on them

Just checking will make all the difference❤️

We're updating our #virtual class timetable and are looking forward to introducing some new and exciting classes.

These free classes have been so important in helping keep older people connected during the pandemic.

Claire was able to meet up with one of our clients outside in the sun.

The current Government guidelines allow us to meet outside with 1 person that we don't live with.

So, next time when the sun is shining why not ask an older friend, family member or neighbour to join you.

Whatever your age, if you stop smoking you can expect a range of benefits, and many of these benefits can be immediate. The sooner you quit, the sooner your body can start to heal.
