I'm delighted to see this. Many older gay men resist going into supported accommodation as they fear discrimination and lack of understanding - it's a topic about which I've had a couple of discussions with our local strategic planning authority in the context of accommodation needs for different groups over the next 15 years. I'd very much like to see similar schemes spreading across the country. "Tonic is incredibly proud of this landmark achievement as the UK's first LGBTQ+ Registered Provider of Social Housing -- this is a turning point for LGBTQ+ housing in the UK. It gives Tonic the platform to grow a new model of later-life living, where older LGBTQ+ people can age not just with safety and support, but with pride, purpose and visibility.

Ths looks positive. This style of accommodation will cater for all folk who are out. It caters for folk like me who are out to thise I wish to be. Not a criticism, but it leaves out thise of our generatiin who are still too afraid to be out. And yet, probably, that does not matter.
