Activism and social change: LGBT+ History Month 2025

Micro Rainbow’s community in the West Midlands took part in a full day’s creative project in Southam.
Micro Rainbow opened the first safe house in the United Kingdom dedicated solely to housing LGBTQI asylum seekers. Our houses provide a safe and temporary shelter for LGBTQI people seeking asylum. They are located in the London area, in the North West and in the West Midlands.
Many LGBTQI people flee their country because of the persecution they face due to their sexuality, gender identity or intersex status. Those who find safety in the UK and become refugees have to build a whole new life. Micro Rainbow can help in this process with employability and moving on support.
