“A rainbow wreath is a symbol of pride and unity, so let’s brighten up our house to show really show that we care.”

People can decorate the wreaths with their own scraps of fabric and also add a message in the centre to show support for key workers during the coronavirus crisis.

You can order a kit at the Re-imagine Facebook page, which will be posted to your door and all money donated to Women’s Aid in Cambridge.
