This week we interview Rowena Doo who is the Program lead for the Pride in Aging program at Switchboard and Merrin Wake who is the Pride in Aging regional coordinator for the Golden Plains Region.
Pride in Ageing is a program of Switchboard Victoria and it’s goals are to reduce social isolation for older LGBTI+ people, tackle ageism & build long-term improvement and change for older LGBTI+ people.
Working with partners, community members and local organisations, Pride in Ageing will centre the experience and needs of older LGBTI+ people to design and help build our own solutions. We want to pilot meaningful place-based solutions that are peer-designed, culturally safe and locally relevant.
This pilot is funded by the Victorian Government. It sits within the broader Pride in Ageing Program at Switchboard, alongside the Out and About Aged Care Volunteer Visiting Scheme service, specialist case support for older LGBTI+ people, and ongoing policy and advocacy work.
