Our inclusive peninsula! Community group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people Loneliness and social isolation are common problems in our society. Seniors can become socially isolated and suffer loneliness as the years advance, with the loss of a spouse, friends and acquaintances. For seniors who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (GLBT), available social networks can be limited. Out On the Peninsula was formed in 2015 to provide a social outlet for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) seniors on the Mornington Peninsula. We have grown to become a diverse group of GLBT friends. We plan events such as visits to local restaurants and the like and meet regularly on the last Sunday of the month. Our events are well attended and provide the opportunity to make friends and have a good time in a welcoming environment. If you live in Frankston or on the Mornington Peninsula and would like to make new friends, enjoy coffee and cake in a GLBT friendly venue please visit our Facebook page, Out On the Peninsula, and make a members’ request. All are welcome - gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, young and not so young. Joy of music changed Jacqui’s life A brain aneurism completely upended Jacqui’s life. About five years ago, she was working full time and raising two teenagers when it struck out of the blue. Singing became a critical part of Jacqui’s recovery, eventually teaming up with her music therapist to set up the Singing for Wellness program, with support from the Brotherhood of St Laurence, the Shire and Bendigo Bank. Singing can reduce high blood pressure, improve the respiratory system, lift depression, and help people living with neurological conditions. Singing for Wellness is open to all at Seawinds Community Hub, Rosebud West. For more information please call: 0438 896 184
