GSK Impact Awards 2026: The Rainbow Project

Since 1994, the Rainbow Project has been working for a better Northern Ireland for LGBTQIA+ people and their families. We change lives through our service provision which mitigates the impact of discrimination, and we change society through our training, campaigning and policy work, which seeks to eliminate the root causes of that discrimination and deliver full social and legal equality for LGBTQIA+ people.

Every day, we work alongside LGBTQIA+ people across Northern Ireland to provide safe, affirming support for those facing discrimination, isolation, poor mental health and barriers to healthcare. Alongside our direct services, we deliver training, influence policy and campaign for lasting change to help create a more equal and inclusive society.

Our work is rooted in community, compassion and lived experience. We believe everyone deserves to feel safe, supported and able to thrive, and we remain committed to challenging the inequalities that continue to impact LGBTQIA+ people today.We’re incredibly proud to have this work recognised by the GSK IMPACT Awards. This acknowledgement reflects the dedication of our staff, volunteers, partners and the LGBTQIA+ community we work alongside every day. We’re grateful to GSK and The King’s Fund for recognising the importance of this work and for supporting organisations creating meaningful change within their communities.
