Eastbourne Rainbow, AGE Concern’s social group for 50plus LGBT people in Eastbourne is celebrating a very successful second year.

The groups monthly afternoon meetings with guest speakers and monthly coffee mornings have continued to be very well attended all year.

Group members together with others now also organise a social evening every Wednesday at the Da Vinci Hotel in Eastbourne. This social event has also proved to be very popular.

In addition the group has made several visits to the theatre, cinema, once to the Towner Gallery, a Christmas afternoon tea as well as taking part in Stonewall’s 10th Equality Walk in Brighton, raising over £350.

The group are also involved in committee work with outside agencies such as the Police, East Sussex Adult Social Care to highlight issues and concerns of older LGBT people and they are helping in the development of an LGBT Befriending Service at AGE Concern.

In the coming year they look forward to welcoming

New members are always welcome and in the coming year they look forward to strengthening links with similar groups in London, Brighton and Hastings.
