We were incredibly proud to be the chosen charity for this year’s Belfast Giants Pride Match! The Rainbow team had a blast at the match, and it was incredibly powerful to see the team take to the ice wearing their 2026 Pride jerseys in support of LGBTQIA+ communities across Northern Ireland.
Fans had the opportunity to purchase the Giants’ Pride jersey, which was also worn by the team, proceeds from which went towards our work to deliver LGBTQIA+ equality in Northern Ireland. Fans were also able to buy tickets for the Shirt Off The Back raffle, giving them the chance to win jerseys worn by some of the Giants during the Pride game, again with all proceeds donated to The Rainbow Project to help fund our vital services. This support directly helps us continue delivering mental health support, advocacy, impactful campaigns, and life-saving services for LGBTQIA+ people and their families.
On the night, our team were also based on The Bridge, speaking with fans about the work we do and sharing information about how people can access support. It was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when sport and community come together in solidarity.
A huge thank you to the Belfast Giants and their supporters for standing with us – all are equal in the land of the Giants!
