Micro Rainbow
Micro Rainbow’s vision is to create a world where lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and intersex (LGBTQI) people are free from discrimination, persecution and have equal opportunities in life, including in accessing employment, training, education, financial services, healthcare, housing, places of faith, and public services.
We do this by:
- Providing safe housing to LGBTQI asylum seekers
- Facilitating access to employment, volunteering, training and education for LGBTQI refugees through our moving on programme
- Providing social inclusion activities to reduce the extreme isolation faced by LGBTQI people
- Advocacy – up to 6 tailored sessions with Outreach Officers to meet need and requirements, providing legal workshops and signposting and collaborating with relevant organisations
