S/PTC/5/2/95

6 July 2017

Paul Thurlow was a volunteer on the Islington's Pride LGBTQ+ archives project at the Islington Local History Centre and later became a volunteer with the Islington Local History Centre. He is a long-term resident of Islington and an active member of the LGBTQ+ community having volunteered with many organisations including Gay Switchboard. He also actively participated in many events and activities.

Two A4 sheets, printed both sides; black and green on white. Printout of an article from the UK Health Security Agency's website, dated 6 July 2017 written by Gregor Henderson and Justin Varney. The Agency was not created until 2021, so it was most likely written for Public Health England (where Justin Varney worked), a predecessor of the Agency. The article summarises some of the evidence for poorer mental health among people in the LGBTQ+ communities, and work to date within the NHS to address their specific needs. Includes references/links to some relevant research since the 1990's. The article can be found at: https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2017/07/06/mental-health-challenges-within-the-lgbt-community/
