NSW health promotion organisation ACON is hosting a free community event for older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people to help reduce social isolation and promote social connection.

The Sydney event is part of ACON’s LOVE (Living Older Visibly and Engaged) Project that aims to promote the health and wellbeing of the older LGBTI community.

The Social Connections event targets LGBTI people over 55 to encourage the development of support networks and community relationships.

At the event to be held in Glebe, older LGBTI people can learn about ways to connect with local community groups, engage in volunteering opportunities and discover helpful resources.

Activities such as social dancing and self-defence mini classes are also on offer.

The event is sponsored by the City of Sydney.
