Product overview

Redbridge Rainbow Community is a registered charity that supports, connects, and advocates for LGBTQ+ people in the London Borough of Redbridge. The organization operates as a community services provider rather than a technology product company, offering a diverse portfolio of programs including regular community events and activities (creative meet-ups, social gatherings, nature walks), annual flagship events (Redbridge Pride, LGBT+ History Month celebrations), health and care initiatives (LGBTQ+ awareness training for health providers), heritage projects (documentary projects on LGBTQ+ history), mental health and wellbeing support, crisis resources, and a comprehensive directory of LGBTQ+-inclusive local services. The organization fosters community connection through its On the Move! walking program, celebrates diversity through the Celebrating the Rainbow initiative, and provides educational resources for learning about LGBTQ+ issues. Fundraising support is available through JustGiving, Easyfundraising, and the Rainbow Lottery.
