ScotsCare will be at Pride in London in 2026

After the success of our participation in the last few Pride in London festivals, ScotsCare are back again this year, spreading the word about the work supporting low-income and homeless Scottish people living in London. Offering a range of services, Pride in London is an opportunity to focus on LGBTQ+ people in the London Scottish community who are in need of support, or anyone looking to get involved with lending a helping hand. 

Time and time again studies show that LGBTQ+ people tend to be worse off when it comes to social isolation, with the numbers of LGBTQ+ people who suffer loneliness in older age being wildly disproportionate. ScotsCare has seen great success in providing social spaces for older Scottish people to get together to socialise in a positive environment, with free events for the over 50s, including a monthly lunch in London and Luton. The ScotsCare choir, which has been going since 2018, sees people of all ages coming together and is open to all those looking to get involved in the charity.  

If you’re looking to get involved with us by giving your time, then there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer at this event or others; from helping with our social events to being a Blether Buddy befriender. Please contact volunteering@scotscare.com if you would like to get involved.
