North Midlands LGBT Older Peoples Group
The North Midlands LGBT Older Peoples Group is a UK-based charitable organisation focusing on supporting older members of the LGBT+ community. Established in 2009, the group provides social activities, peer support, and health-related resources to combat isolation and loneliness among older LGBT+ individuals[1][3].

Activities and services

The group organises regular in-person meetings in Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire, alongside weekly online Zoom sessions[1]. Their initiatives include creative collaborations, such as the Rainbow Threads project with textile artist Jane Titley, creating commemorative pennants for Pride events marking their 15th anniversary in 2025[1].

Funding and reach

In 2024, the organisation secured a National Lottery Community Fund grant to support operational costs and anniversary programming[1]. Their services cater to diverse groups, including gay men, lesbians, bisexual individuals, and those with variations in sex characteristics[2].

Governance

Registered as charity number 1186844, the group emphasises peer-led support and community-building strategies tailored to older LGBT+ adults[1][3][5].
