Rainbow Foundation Sunderland was formed in July of 2016, with the intention of offering further support to the LGBT+ community in the Wearside area.
As well as working for the improved visibility for this community, the organisation also works to create social cohesion amongst the minority communities in the City of Sunderland.

Work to deliver training to the wider community in order to allow for further development and visibility of the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Trans community.
