Rainbow Laces
Move with Pride
Everyone should be welcome to move, play and participate.
Belonging changes how we move. When welcome is visible, confidence grows – and movement follows. Movement can bring huge health, well-being, and social benefits. But for the LGBTQ+ community, there are often barriers that can make it harder to get involved and get moving. When people don’t feel they belong, they don’t move - and their health and wellbeing suffers, Rainbow Laces exists to change that.
Rainbow Laces is a signal that those in the LGBTQ+ community are welcome. For just £6 you can buy and wear your laces to show that they do belong. There are also discounts on bulk buy orders.
How you can support Rainbow Laces
Rainbow Laces is a visible network of belonging across sport, exercise and everyday movement. The simplest way to be part of it is to buy and wear Rainbow Laces. But whether you're moving, sharing, or showing, it all makes belonging visible.
Every mark displayed in an exercise class, workout zone, or sportsground tells LGBTQ+ people “you belong here”.
Whether in a team, a regular at the gym, or just looking to get moving this year, there’s a way to join in.
Move with Pride and help others do the same, make belonging visible wherever you are.
In the way that feels right for you - walking, running, dancing, training, stretching, playing. Movement builds confidence, community and boosts wellbeing.
Real clips, real stories, shared publicly. Every moment builds visibility and momentum for others to join. If you’re moving with pride, document this on social media and make belonging visible.
Use the hashtags #RainbowLaces #MovewithPride to share what you’re up to.
Wear the Laces: Buying and wearing the iconic Rainbow Laces is the simplest way to show your support. Plus, check out our full range of merch, including t-shirts, caps and water bottles.
Calling all clubs and teams
Take signalling your commitment one step further and sign the Pledge. The Proud Pledge helps organisations turn welcome from an intention into a visible signal. Every mark displayed signals to LGBTQ+ people that “You are welcome. You belong here”. Ask your sports team or fitness group to sign up.
