LGBT Health and Wellbeing promotes the health, wellbeing, and equality of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)i adults in Scotland. It provides support, services, and information to improve mental and emotional wellbeing, reduce social isolation and promote community inclusion.
LGBT Health’s strategic objectives, as outlined in the Strategic Plan, are to:
• Build capacity to achieve better health and wellbeing within the LGBT community
• Develop the ability of services to respond to the needs of LGBT individuals
• Build collaborative partnerships
• Build a positive, proactive organisation.
As well as providing support programmes for LGBT people, the organisation directly contributes its expertise on LGBT issues to a wide range of individuals and organisations.
It is increasingly recognised as a ‘go to’ organisation about LGBT issues, especially around older LGBT people, trans wellbeing, mental health and more recently LGBT asylum seekers and refugees. The charity works tirelessly to raise awareness of the lived experiences, needs, barriers and inequalities LGBT adults experience, by providing a strong, informed, and credible voice for the interests of LGBT people.
