About Redbridge Rainbow Community
Redbridge Rainbow Community supports and celebrates LGBTQ+ people who live, work, socialise or study in the London Borough of Redbridge. We run community activities, help local services to be LGBTQ-inclusive and meet local people’s needs and raise issues affecting LGBTQ+ people with local services and decision-makers. Find out more about our work. We are a small charity with a current annual budget of approx. £50k. Our income is mainly from grants from a range of funders, as well as some donations and other income. We are about to publish our accounts for 2023/24 and can share these once they are published.
