We’re launching an exciting and much needed ongoing program as part of Seniors month, with the support of the Greater Shepparton City Council to launch our GV Pride Silver Rainbows Social Support Group. An event of inclusion and diversity for all members of the Shepparton community but in particular our LGBTIQA+ community. At this event we will advise the community how they can engage with GV Pride and what social activities will be run. Our program and events will assist the community to be inclusive, diverse and work towards positive mental health and not suffer acute loneliness as they mature. Limited tickets available.
