Let's see what fabulous things the residents of Portobello Place have been getting up to this month:

Happy Pride Month

This month we celebrate the importance of 'Free to be Me', due to a lifetime of discrimination, many older LGBTQ+ people age without living as their true selves.
Our consultant trainer, Sally Knocker has worked with Age UK and Opening Doors London (ODL) to produce 'Safe to be Me' which offers advice on how to support the older members of the LGBTQ+ community.
