Donations and Bequests
Christmas Appeal - Ageing Action Group
Statistics show that the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) seniors is rising, yet there is no funding available to address the serious issues that some LGBT seniors experience. To highlight and address the issues faced by older LGBT people and provide them with support, QAHC formed the Ageing Action Group in 2006.
Your donation during our Christmas Appeal will assist QAHC continue its important work to improve services for Queensland's LGBT seniors and continue to provide semi-regular events to battle the large issue of social isolation. Your donation could even benefit you in the future.
