Description

Launched in November 2020, the Rainbow Enterprise Network (REN) is designed to connect up LGBTQ+ and ally business owners across Scotland and beyond, providing a ground-breaking platform to champion LGBTQ+ enterprises and entrepreneurship.

Created by Somewhere EDI CIC, the REN is the first of its kind in Scotland. With affordable membership fees (across 4 tiers), members enjoy a built-in magazine subscription to Scotland’s brightest new LGBTQ+ culture and enterprise quarterly: Somewhere: For Us, which, after just four issues, already has a thriving readership.

As well as the magazine subscription (including member freebies), members also have a whole host of other benefits to enjoy, including access to Somewhere’s Mentoring Scheme, links to digital and in-person network events and initiatives, an exclusive Welcome Pack with goodies, a Member e-newsletter, a Member logo for member websites and branding, a REN pledge certificate, plus options to take part in magazine feature and promotional opportunities, and discounts on magazine advertising…phew!

REN membership is already diverse and has members from many different industry sectors across all areas of Scotland. For smaller LGBTQ+ and ally companies, membership provides a safe and dynamic platform for creativity, collaboration and inspiration. For larger ally companies, REN is the perfect way to demonstrate proactive allyship, with multiple magazine copies available to distribute to LGBTQ+ and ally staff, alongside sponsorship and advertising opportunities.

Now is the time to join up and help shape this exciting new network! You will be in very good company with members including Buchanan Shaw Consulting, inforocket and The University of Edinburgh. For more details or to get in touch, please click the "Find out more" button above.

Somewhere is a connective cultural organisation designed to support the LGBTQ+ community through arts, culture, heritage and enterprise initiatives. They produce the LGBT+ quarterly magazine, Somewhere: For Us and create space and opportunity for queer authentic lives through a range of initiatives.
