The Rainbow Honours celebrate individuals and organisations who dedicate themselves year-round to driving change and championing LGBTQIA+ equality.

This prestigious event recognizes and rewards our inspiring Rainbow Heroes, Sheroes, and Queeroes—those extraordinary people and groups whose efforts significantly advance inclusion and equality for the LGBTQIA+ community.

While progress has been made, LGBTQIA+ individuals still face discrimination in the workplace, in education, and across social media. The impact of inequality is profound, with LGBTQIA+ youth being more likely to experience self-harm or attempt suicide and facing higher rates of substance abuse compared to the general population.

That’s why we honour those who take a stand for fairness and equality. These remarkable advocates are truly the UK’s LGBTQIA+ Rainbow Heroes, and they deserve our deepest recognition and gratitude.
