About
The Gilbert Centre for Social and Support Services is a community-based charitable organization serving Simcoe Muskoka through education, advocacy, health services, harm reduction, and 2S-LGBTQIA+ programming. We support people living with or at risk of acquiring HIV and Hep C, people who use drugs, 2S-LGBTQIA+ communities, and those who experience stigma, discrimination, isolation, and barriers to care. Our work is grounded in dignity, health equity, human rights, harm reduction, and the belief that people and communities should shape the services that affect their lives. We walk alongside people and communities, not as rescuers, but as allies. We recognize the strength, expertise, leadership, and lived experience within the communities we serve. The Gilbert Centre is a hub for support, connection, education, and systems change. We work across Simcoe Muskoka with individuals, families, community partners, health and social service providers, funders, donors, and allies to build safer, healthier, and more inclusive communities.
