Come and meet Daniel Hibbs-Woodings (he/him), Community and Customer Engagement Manager at Tonic Housing.Tonic is a community-led not for profit organisation. They are focused on creating vibrant and inclusive urban LGBT+ affirming retirement communities where people can share common experiences, find mutual support and enjoy their later life. Tonic was established in 2014 to address the issues of loneliness and isolation of older LGBT+ people and the need for specific housing and support provision as there is currently none in the UK.

Tonic has focused on London for the first project as the capital has the largest older LGBT+ population in the UK, estimated to be 145,000 people. Their first project in Vauxhall opened its doors in October 2021.

This will be a great opportunity to learn more about one of the leading charities in the UK supporting the lives of older LGBT+ people.
