The Rainbow Project Rotherham creates safe, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ people across our borough. Between October 2025, Healthwatch Rotherham spent time with the project’s groups and activities, listening to people’s experiences of support, wellbeing, identity, and access to health and care.
What we heard was clear: the Rainbow Project does more than deliver services. It gives people a sense of belonging, connection and confidence. This report shares attendees’ voices, highlights what the project does well, and identifies where more understanding and support are needed.
