Older Gay Men’s Cabaret
This event is set to celebrate the contribution that older gay men have made to the LGBT community throughout the decades.  It is also an opportunity to network and socialise. The event will also publicise the older gay men’s support group at Age Concern Camden to new potential members, so that they could benefit from the ongoing support that the group offers.
