Newham LGBT Seniors was started in early 2022 in support of the Borough of Newham’s Ageing Well policy in order to identify the issues facing later life LGBTQ+ in the borough, as they are for the most part under the radar. It became East London LGBT Seniors as it grew and attracted members across London.

Newham LGBT Seniors has established itself as a coffee and chat group in Stratford Library

It has begun to develop a Literature Project which further identifies later life issues for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer people

It is looking for younger volunteers who can support the work of Newham LGBT Seniors.
