Support that starts with understanding
We know that reaching out for support can feel difficult. People often come to us when they feel overwhelmed, isolated, unheard or unsure where to turn next.
We do not believe that you should have to wait until crisis point before support is available. Our work is built around listening first, understanding what matters most, and offering support that feels safe, respectful and manageable.
Whether through community counselling, family support or inclusive group activities for children, we create welcoming spaces where people feel accepted, connected and supported.
Support that makes a difference
In 2025, Rainbow Rogues provided more than 5,900 hours of direct support to children, young people, adults and families across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Behind every number is a person or family who reached out and found support wwhen they needed it most.
