NATIONAL PENSIONERS CONVENTION – LGBT WORKING GROUP

NATIONAL PENSIONERS CONVENTION – LGBT WORKING GROUP

We have been approached by the National Pensioners Convention (NPC) to nominate a Retired Member to sit on their LGBT Working Group.

Accordingly, this LTB is to ask Branches that if they believe any of their LGBT Retired Members would like to sit on this working group that they please forward name, membership number and contact details to sdgs@cwu.org by Friday 19^th February.

The NPC LGBT Working Group is a new working party, set up after the 2019 Biennially Delegate Conference, to represent the interests of retired LGBT people both within the NPC and in wider society.  There are many challenges, much ignorance and outright prejudice – including issues with housing, isolation, loneliness, lack of understanding and respect for lifestyle choices that older LGBT people face.

Any enquiries regarding this Letter to Branches should be addressed to the Senior Deputy General Secretary’s Department on telephone number 020 8971 7237, or email address sdgs@cwu.org.

Yours sincerely,

Tony Kearns
Senior Deputy General Secretary
