information SERVICE DETAILS

Our monthly Coffee Posse meetups welcome all older LGBT+ people (50+) across Scotland for relaxed get-together in a safe and friendly environment where all LGBT+ identities and experiences are affirmed. These provide great opportunities to meet new people, reconnect with old friends, or get to know your local community.

Coffee Posse is both hosted online and in-person.

In-person meet-up...

LGBT Age are delighted to have returned to face to face Coffee Posse events for LGBT+ people 50 and over. This is a safe post-lockdown space for LGBTQ+ people who are 50 and over. Come and join us for a brew and a blether to catch up with old friends or make new connections every second Wednesday of the month.

This event is part of a small trial of in-person events with limited numbers and COVID-19 safety measures in place for social distancing. All necessary steps have been taken to reduce the risk of COVID, however that risk can never be reduced to zero. Any event may be cancelled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances relating to coronavirus, or if Scottish Government guidance changes.

How to join?

Once again, BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL, as spaces are still limited for now.

We are keeping to smaller groups so that everyone feels comfortable. In addition to this, these planned dates are all subject to local government guidance at the time.

BOOK YOUR SPOT by getting in touch with Jean on 0751 655 3274 (Monday to Thursday 9:00am-4:30pm) or by email at jean@lgbthealth.org.uk. Jean can talk you through the venue, the safety protocols and answer any questions you have.

We meet at the LGBT Health and Wellbeing’s new Edinburgh office at 4 Duncan Place (EH6 8HW).

Wheelchair accessible

Online meet-up...

Coffee Posse Online is a monthly online social space for all LGBTQ+ people aged 50 and over in Scotland. Get together for a relaxed social chat in a welcoming, safe and friendly environment every 3rd Thursday of the month. An opportunity to meet new people, reconnect, and get to know your community.

The LGBT Age team will be there to meet and greet. There will be some gentle, no pressure relaxed social activities to help folks introduce themselves and get to know each other, and we’ll use breakout rooms for smaller group chats.

We will be getting together on the video conference app Zoom. If there is anything you need to talk to us about in advance to help you access the event (including using Zoom), please email Jean at jean@lgbthealth.org.uk or phone Jean at 0751 655 3274.
