Tonic Living Cic

This is how we live our lives out. This is LGBT + older living.

There is currently no LGBT + specific housing for older people in the UK, and few positive examples of where the needs of older LGBT + people are meaningfully considered when new housing policy or provision is being developed. The consequences of such inaction can be devastating for people who have experienced prejudice and disadvantage at different stages of their lives and where older age will mean increasing vulnerability.

Tonic’s vision is to develop housing and services with a distinct LGBT + identity and ethos, and in doing so to provide the older LGBT + community with greater choice and control over services that are more supportive, safe, and culturally appropriate.
