The State of the City for Manchester’s Older Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Communities

22 May 2015 - 09:41 by michelle.foster

Approximately 7,650 people aged over 50 living in Manchester identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual (LGB), and these communities experience specific health inequalities and care needs. Older LGB people have grown up in a world hostile to their identities, and the impact of discrimination, homophobia and biphobia is felt as they age, experiencing an increased reliance on services, isolation from family and community, and a need to renegotiate their identities within the wider LGBT community.

Volunteer Centre Manchester Reward and Recognition Programme

We have developed a programme to reward volunteers for the invaluable time given to Volunteer Centre Manchester (VCM) and our partners. We are now asking organisations who host volunteers and who use VCM’s database, the Volunteer Engagement and Recognition App (VERA), to record the number of hours volunteers spend helping out at events and other short/long term opportunities. Once certain milestones have been achieved volunteers will be rewarded accordingly.
