Sadly, Rainbow Community House
has closed…

As of the 28 August 2025, RCH has closed. For over 5 years, RCH operated as a not-for-profit organisation providing mental health support to LGBT+ young people between the ages of 12-25. The team at RCH would like to thank everyone who has supported us in turn through their time, energy, money, and care.

If you are in crisis, please contact your GP and attend your nearest emergency department.

If you’re seeking counselling or support, we recommend that you complete referrals to other services, and have included a list of crisis and other services below. The service most similar to ours (free/affordable and LGBT+ specific) is Freedom Centre.
