Think 2 Speak, which promotes social inclusion, has teamed up with Community Lincs to help people access services and get support.

Project coordinator Rebecca Kerry said there can be a "stigma" among the over 50s in acknowledging the LGBTQ+ community.

"People are reluctant to answer questions about sexuality and gender orientation. We think because there is that reluctance and there is a low level of services offering support, we don't see those people."

Ms Kerry said Community Lincs had connected with an existing LGBTQ+ support group in Skegness which said 75% of its members were over 50.

She said it would be working with the group to feed back information to Think 2 Speak about the way it works to help develop and train people involved in the project.
