Tom Daley launches Pride collection with 100% of all proceeds going to Rainbow Railroad
Tom Daley has launched a brand new Price collection on his Made With Love fashion label. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Rainbow Railroad, the global non-for-profit organisation that has made it their mission to help vulnerable LGBTQ+ citizens from all corners of the world based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and/or sex characteristics.
Most recently, the charity helped bring the first group of LGBTQ+ Afghans to the UK following the country’s fall to the Taliban.
In a statement, Daley said he’s “grateful” to live in a country where he doesn’t have to “fear for his life”, which can’t be said for “our LGBTQI family around the world who face violence and oppression simply because of who they are”. “As an athlete, I’ve visited countries where it’s illegal to be me, but protected by the international rules for competing athletes,” he added. “Every time I go, I think about people like me in that country that either can’t live authentically or are at danger because they are.
That’s why I wanted to launch a Pride collection where every penny of the profits go to Rainbow Railroad. “This incredible charity helps people in our community escape state-sponsored violence and get them to safety.
