Kaleidoscope Trust
Established in 2011, Kaleidoscope Trust is a UK-based international charity fighting for a future where LGBTI+ people everywhere can live free, safe and equal lives. Around the world, the human rights and identities of LGBTI+ people are under attack. New discriminatory laws and policies are being proposed every week and a third of all countries still criminalise consensual same-sex relationships. We are building a global movement to create a world where LGBTI+ people everywhere can live free, safe and equal lives. We work with political leaders in the UK and beyond to ensure global LGBTI+ issues are a priority. We ensure that activists have the resources, skills and training they need to learn from one another in order to create an enabling environment and change hearts and minds. And we bring together grassroots organisations with those in power to create that change. Our mission is to help create a world where LGBTI+ people are free, safe and equal everywhere, and we carry out our work in three distinct ways: 1. We make sure that activists, change-makers and community organisations around the world have the funding, resources and training they need to get their work done; 2. We move through the corridors of power here in the UK to ensure global LGBTI+ issues are a priority for funding, legislative and foreign policy decisions; and 3. We connect grassroots organisations with governments and key policy and decision-makers so they can advocate for themselves and their communities.
