2026 GSK IMPACT Awards: The Rainbow Project

The Rainbow Project are a LGBTQIA+ charity changing lives for LGBTQIA+ people and their families in Northern Ireland through tailored health and wellbeing services that mitigate the impact of discrimination, as well as training, campaigning and policy work to eliminate its root causes.

Judges’ comments

‘The Rainbow Project stood out for its exceptional commitment to tackling deep‑rooted inequalities affecting LGBTQIA+ people in Northern Ireland. It delivers compassionate care and support to those who are often experiencing high levels of mental distress and have poorer physical health outcomes. The judges were impressed by the organisation’s sexuality and gender identity‑affirming services, strong partnerships and strategic leadership at system level. Its impact is profound - reaching individuals facing the greatest barriers, while also driving structural change to create a more inclusive future.’
