Become an ally by making a regular donation
Every year, around 1,500 LGBTQI people flee countries where being themselves is punishable by imprisonment or even death. When they arrive in the UK, they often face homelessness, abuse, and isolation. Micro Rainbow provides life-changing services, including safe housing, moving on (integration), and social inclusion support, so they can rebuild their lives in dignity.
By becoming an ally, your regular donation:
£10
buys a duvet cover for one of our safehouses for LGBTQI people seeking asylum
£50
can provide one night of safe housing for an LGBTQI person fleeing persecution
£100
contributes towards heating and utilities for a safehouse

I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all the incredible support you have given me during my journey as an asylum seeker. Your kindness, care, and encouragement made a huge difference in my life, especially during such a difficult time.
I’m very happy to share that I received a positive decision on my asylum claim, and I know that your support played a big role in helping me stay strong and hopeful. Thank you for making me feel safe, respected, and never alone.
With all my heart – thank you so much!
