Rainbow Families
Events and information for LGBTQI families who live in or travel to Edinburgh and Glasgow
Rainbow Families Events
Rainbow Families events are for specifically for anyone looking to meet other LGBTQI parents, share experiences and socialise in a family setting. It’s a friendly and relaxed group with a really diverse mix of coupled and single LGBTQI parents and their children taking part.
Family-friendly LGBTQI Events
As part of our Special Events programme, we provide community events that are family-friendly. Though these events are not specifically for parents and families, the family-friendly symbol indicates that all ages are welcome.
Information and Social Events for Parents
We provide information events for LGBTQI parents, involving a range of topics to support families, such as family planning, dealing with school and nursery experience and coming out. We’re keen to hear from parents about the topics that are most relevant and of interest to you. During these events there is plenty of opportunity to socialise and meet other parents from the community.
