Thank you to everyone who is not listed here, but has given us support in any way. Rainbow Jews was supported by the National Lottery Heritage through the Heritage Lottery Fund until August 2014, and hosted by Liberal Judaism. This exhibition is in association with LSE Arts and LSE Spectrum. Your financial support, your gifts of time and service, and your encouragement has helped us create a lasting legacy - the first ever Jewish LGBT History in Britain. What a blessing to be able to make a difference in our community. We certainly couldn’t have done it without each of you. We look forward to 2014 being even more exciting as we continue building the archive and its resources.
