After having children and moving to Yorkshire, we realised just how little there was in the way of support for LGBTQIA families. As a result, we made the decision to be a support network for other families, and in 2023 Rainbow Families Yorkshire was formed. Fast forward to today, and we are proud to be the one-stop hub for every aspect of LGBTQ+ families. Whether that may be birth parents, adoptive, or prospective parents. We pride ourselves on celebrating everyone, from all walks of life.
Family is indeed a cornerstone, offering love, support, and a sense of belonging that is crucial for personal growth and happiness. For members of the LGBTQ+ community, the concept of family can take on even greater significance, as many seek to build inclusive and accepting spaces where they truly feel at home.
At Rainbow Families Yorkshire, our mission is to empower and support parents, prospective parents, carers and children within the LGBTQ+ community by providing resources, advocacy and a nurturing environment. We understand that each family is unique, and we strive to celebrate and uplift the diverse experiences and journeys of all our members, ensuring that everyone has access to the love and support they deserve.
