Please note: This is a rescheduled date for this event.
LGBT Foundation’s Pride in Ageing programme invites you to a special summer get-together and evening of celebration of our LGBTQ+ over 50s communities in Greater Manchester. Come along and find out more about our work with older communities, how you can get involved and how we can support you.
This relaxed event will include short film screenings, LGBT Foundation stalls, networking and a live video-link Q&A where you can ask the experts your questions on HIV, sexual health and active ageing for LGBTQ+ communities.

About our speakers:
Daisy Puller your favourite Ditz from Down Under, is groovy, glamorous and ridiculous! With over the top costumes and a special talent for chaos, this loveable larrikin has the notion to put the loco in your motion every time she steps on stage. But it’s not all nonsense for this seasoned show-pony. As an HIV peer mentor for Positively UK and a Fast Track Cities HIV Confident Ambassador, Daisy – and her alter ego, Dan – uses her platform to advocate and educate the masses, with the aim to stamp out stigma. All in a bedazzled stiletto and sky high hair.
