Research has highlighted the impact of the pandemic on lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT+) people’s lives, but less has been documented about the experiences of LGBT+ older communities and how their specific needs have been mediated. Community-based advocacy organisations are central to promoting LGBT+ human rights in the UK through its social movements, and this paper explores their role and significance during a distinct period of the UK mandatory isolation. Drawing on a case study approach based on qualitative interviews with six key LGBT+ community organisations in the UK, we captured their insights into how they navigated support for older people when faced with limited resources and the challenges posed by mandatory physical and social distancing. We position these events in current discourse about structural and health inequalities for LGBT+ ageing in the UKPandemija covida-19 je imela velik vpliv na življenje starih ljudi po vsem svetu, a nekatere marginalizirane skupnosti so povečanje zdravstvenih in drugih neenakosti občutile še posebej močno. Raziskave so podrobneje pojasnile vpliv pandemije na življenje lezbijk, gejev, biseksualnih in trans oseb (LGBT+), manj pa je dokumentiranega o izkušnjah starejših oseb v LGBT+ skupnostih in zadovoljevanju njihovih potreb. V Združenem kraljestvu so skupnostne zagovorniške organizacije s pomočjo družbenih gibanj ključne pri promociji človekovih pravic LGBT+ oseb. Članek obravnava njihovo vlogo in pomen v konkretnem obdobju obvezne izolacije v Združenem kraljestvu. Na podlagi kvalitativnih intervjujev s šestimi ključnimi britanskimi LGBT+ skupnostnimi organizacijami so prikazana njihova spoznanja o tem, kako so lahko zagotavljali podporo starim ljudem v izrednih okoliščinah omejenih finančnih virov ter obvezne telesne in socialne razdalje. Ti dogodki so umeščeni v aktualni diskurz o neenakostih starih LGBT+ oseb v Združenem kraljestvuTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za socialno delo
