Rainbow Neighbours is a volunteer-led service for LGBTQ+ people in Brighton & Hove who are experiencing isolation, bereavement, dementia, memory loss, or other forms of vulnerability.

The service connects LGBTQ+ people with trained volunteers who offer regular social contact, emotional support, and a stronger sense of community belonging.

Rainbow Neighbours is grounded in dignity, respect and trauma-informed practice. We recognise that LGBTQ+ people may have different life stories, family structures, identities, relationships, and experiences of support. Every match is shaped around the person’s needs, preferences, identity, and what helps them feel safe and supported.
