Nottingham's Rainbow Centre opened at 180 Mansfield Road on 9th September 1985, the co-operative having been established (on 9th April 1984) by campaigners for peace, animal rights, human rights, civil liberties and the environment.

Veggies Catering Campaign (established 18th October 1984) moved in from Earthwise (the FoE Shop next door) when it closed, later taking on the day-to-day running of the centre.

From the Rainbow Centre base plans were hatched for the purchase of a permanent campaign base, which was opened as the Sumac Centre, in Forest Fields/New Basford on June 22nd 2002.
