Rainbow Club

Meets last Saturday of each month

A group for friendship and social contact in the Kapiti/Horowhenua area. Pot-luck barbecues etc. Visitors welcome. You are welcome to visit our web site.

Club Statement: We are a club and therefore a small charge is made for membership. We meet in each other’s homes. Our aim is to provide social support to people in a more rural area where contact is often difficult to establish. We expect that members and visitors will treat each other with the greatest respect.

Rainbow Families NZ

Rainbow Families New Zealand is an organization dedicated to building relationships and connections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) parents, prospective parents, and their children.

We encourage our families to form strong community ties locally as well as across New Zealand by offering support and friendship to individuals at all stages of parenting and by providing a forum for our children to make life-long friends.

We meet regularly across the country in specific regions through informal family gatherings, celebrations, and events, and we participate in an online forum to stay connected across New Zealand. Please visit our website for more information.
