Why are we doing it?

Rainbow Trust Children's Charity provides practical and emotional support to families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. We support 1,000 families each year.

Our two respite houses in Surrey and Northumberland provide a break for the whole family, allowing them to spend precious time together as a family.

Rainbow Trust's Family Support Workers join the family in their own home and are there to provide whatever practical support is needed. They may attend hospital appointments with parents, sit by the bedside of the sick child to give parents a break and take worried siblings out for the day.

Rainbow Trust supports families for as long as they need us - from diagnosis, through the illness and beyond.

This is the Thankyou letter we received from the Rainbow Trust - thanks to eveyone for their support!
