Broken Rainbow is the only UK-wide domestic violence service offering confidential support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people. In addition to our helpline (see number below) we work to raise awareness around the devastating impact domestic violence can have on victims’ lives, by providing training and support to generic domestic violence agencies and others.
Broken Rainbow is keen to build links with individuals and organisations throughout the UK, so get in touch if you think we can help you in any way.

Domestic abuse affects around one in four LGBT people in the UK. It is not always physical; it can take many forms including emotional, financial and sexual abuse. It can include controlling a person’s contact with family and friends, withholding affection, isolation and verbal threats.

Glasses, food drink all cleared away and my car loaded down with what’s left..perhaps I will have a drink when I get home as I reflect on a job well done.
A few thoughts on the evening first though. Great to see so many friends there, old and new..our staff, our volunteers, supporters, LGBT community, Domestic violence partners. We showcased the new website – it got a great round of applause, Aimee has done fantastically well getting it ready in time. She deserves a medal…well at least some time off!
Good conversations had too..got some potential new partners in our work that I need to follow up over the next week or so. I’m tired but happy..a good night, enjoyed by all.
