Friday May 06, 2005 12:23 by Paul McAndrew paul at queer dot ie
A campaigning group that has been instrumental in attempts to rid the North of homophobia could be set to close, after organisers admitted funding was beginning to run dry. "The Rainbow Project finds itself in a serious funding crisis for our North West centre. The centre is the only service available outside of Belfast and has worked to end the isolation and discrimination suffered by thousands." Organisers said they were now existing solely on private donations, and would be unable to continue for much longer. |

Jump To Comment: 1The Rainbow Project finds itself in a serious funding crisis for our North West centre. The centre is the only service available outside of Belfast and has worked to end the isolation and discrimination suffered by thousands. The reality for us is that our funding has not been renewed by the Western Health and Social Services Board as of yet and we face the real possibility of closure within a month.
Most of the work at the North West centre involves providing services to thousands of isolated, marginalised and excluded individuals in need of counselling, mental health support, emotional and sexual health support and we cater for young people, through our youth project. Above all, the centre provides a safe space for some of the most marginalised people in our society.
We now need support in any way that can be offered. We would particularly welcome letters in support of our work sent to the WHSSB and which outline the need for our services. All correspondence should be sent to the following address:
Karen Meenan
Chairperson
WHSSB
15 Gransha Park
Clooney Road
Derry
BT47 6FN
It would also be useful to copy your letter to Steven Lindsay, Chief Executive of the WHSSB at the same address. Alternatively, email the Chairperson of the WHSSB on info@whssb.ni.nhs.uk.
Thanks for all your support.
