The Rainbow Room
The Rainbow Room podcast was launched in the height of the covid 19 pandemic. The project was dedicated to bringing people together and sharing stories. Our safe spaces provided a platform for people to talk about mental health and environment. We welcomed members of the community to listen , learn or participate in conversation with professionals within the arts and education industries.

The Rainbow Room focus is to educate a wider audience. We believe this can help alleviate and hopefully one day eradicate the pressures and prejudices placed on the shoulders of members of the LGBTQ+ community. It is often a misunderstanding or poor education surrounding the community which can cause the pressures for those within. A podcast developing people's understanding is our solution.
Through consultations with Rainbow Room members, we realised people wanted to learn skills that would give them a voice. So, we dedicated some Rainbow Room sessions to teaching people how to tell their stories. Through one of our stakeholders, the British Film Institute (BFI), we were able to teach members how to reach the wider community through film. A by-product of this is that we are supporting Rainbow Room members to keep learning whilst supporting them in their desire return to education and improve their literacy skills.
