Welcome to Rainbow Refugees NI

Rainbow Refugees NI is an independent volunteer-led group providing a safe space for LGBTQIA+ refugees and people seeking sanctuary in Northern Ireland.

Our volunteers support queer people seeking sanctuary by:

  • running monthly, confidential, social meet-ups in Belfast
  • signposting to existing support services (hate crime, sexual health, refugee support etc)
  • advocating for members’ safety within the asylum system
  • supporting to understand rights and entitlements
  • promoting inclusion within local communities
  • supporting members to navigate the asylum process

LGBTQIA+ refugees and people seeking sanctuary can get in touch directly.
