For older lesbians and
gay men in Croydon
Silver Rainbow is a friendly group of older gay people living in Croydon, who meet for lunch twice a month on Thursdays (see the Diary for current dates) from 12 noon to 2:30.
We were voted third in our category nationwide in the Pink Paper Readers' Awards; see our certificate.
Lunch at the Waterside Centre
Once a month we have a cooked lunch, provided by UNACC (Upper Norwood Association for Community Care) at the Waterside Centre beside South Norwood Lake — see Directions.
The two-course lunch costs £3.00 (tea/coffee extra) and needs to be ordered the day before.
Healthy Eating
On alternate meetings we go to out for healthy meals at a variety of inexpensive local lunchtime venues, sometimes in partnership with Age Concern Croydon, whose "Fit as a Fiddle" programme has helped us to learn more about healthy diet and lifestyle choices.
Other CAGS activities
Silver Rainbow is affiliated to Croydon Area Gay Society (CAGS). Membership of CAGS costs £6 a year (for non-earners) and offers:
