UK BLACK PRIDE Joins Forces with the Rainbow Lottery to Support LGBTQ+ Communities Across the UK

13 March 2025

In a landmark collaboration, UK BLACK PRIDE, the trailblazing organisation dedicated to celebrating, empowering, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people of colour, has officially joined forces with the Rainbow Lottery, the UK’s only lottery dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ causes.

This exciting partnership means that UK BLACK PRIDE is now a registered cause within the Rainbow Lottery, giving supporters the chance to win cash prizes while directly funding the UK’s largest celebration of LGBTQ+ people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American, and Middle Eastern descent.

Since its inception, UK BLACK PRIDE has been a beacon of visibility and empowerment, creating spaces where LGBTQ+ people of colour can thrive, feel represented, and drive meaningful change. The organisation’s mission aligns seamlessly with the Rainbow Lottery, which has been championing diverse LGBTQ+ initiatives across the UK through its unique fundraising model.

Lady Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, CEO and Co-Founder of UK BLACK PRIDE, expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration: “This partnership with the Rainbow Lottery is an incredible opportunity to sustain and grow UK BLACK PRIDE’s work. Our community deserves long-term support, and this is a brilliant way for people to contribute while having the chance to win big. The more tickets purchased for our cause, the more we can invest in building safe, joyous, and empowering spaces for LGBTQ+ people of colour.”

With every £1 Rainbow Lottery ticket sold, 50p goes directly to UK BLACK PRIDE when supporters select it as their chosen cause, ensuring that every contribution fuels the growth, advocacy, and celebration of intersectional LGBTQ+ communities.

Tom Gattos, Rainbow Lottery CEO and co-founder, also shared his excitement:
“The Rainbow Lottery is all about supporting and uplifting the full spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community, and we are beyond thrilled to welcome UK BLACK PRIDE as a partner. Their impact has been phenomenal, and together, we can drive even more meaningful change.”
