SAND Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin has been the base for a ground-breaking initiative to improve the experiences of older and old LGBT+ people since its founding in 2012. In 2019, SAND secured lottery funding for a project called EMBRACE A Culture of Inclusion which included encouraging health, social care and other providers of services for older and old people in the county to sign up to a Covenant addressing the key question “How would I, as an LGBT+ older person, know that I would feel safe and comfortable approaching your organisation for support, advice or a service?” Over 30 organisations employing over 20,000 staff have signed up. Whilst the funded project has come to an end – the work has not. SAND has taken an active, celebratory and positive decision not to apply for more funding. SAND believes that there is enough capacity within these local organisations now to continue and grow inclusive practice. Something very exciting has happened in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin over the past 5 years - a movement to embrace a culture of inclusion, which everyone can join and build together. The website remains live lgbtsand.com; you can watch a summary of the past twelve years here.
