Biography

As Head of Independent Living at Great Places Housing Group, I am part of the project team co-designing and managing the first purpose-built LGBTQ+ Majority Extra Care scheme in the UK.

My Fellowship will involve researching housing and care services for LGBTQ+ older people in Spain, France, Germany, Sweden and the USA to create a framework for co-producing specialist services to improve the experience of LGBTQ+ older people, reduce discrimination and raise awareness of the specific needs of this community.

Improving the housing experience for older LGBTQ+ people

I’d known about the Churchill Fellowship for years, but my journey began while watching Drag Race Spain last year, where I learned about Fundación 26 de Diciembre, an organisation supporting older LGBTQ+ people in Madrid. This inspired me to apply for a Fellowship, and I was awarded funding to visit LGBTQ+ housing and care projects in Spain, France, Germany, and study online with groups in Sweden and the USA. I’m excited to bring back what I learn to improve housing and care experiences for older LGBTQ+ people here in the UK.
