Expressions of Interest |
|
Strengthening Seniors Inclusion & Participation SSIP |
|
|
|
Expressions of Interest are now open to organisations wanting to be SSIP Activity Partners. The SSIP LGBTI project seeks to reduce social isolation and loneliness among older lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans/gender diverse and intersex (LGBTI) Victorians and build new, culturally safe opportunities to engage with mainstream organisations within an environment of trust.
The SSIP LGBTI Project will support and mentor Activity Partners in metropolitan and rural/regional Victoria to build relationships, share information, generate ideas, promote a partnership-building and co-design approach to project activity planning and implementation, and ensure LGBTI seniors’ interests are represented.
The project is lead by Switchboard Victoria and more information can be found here |
