Your support really makes a difference

We provide specialist care and emotional support for babies, children and young people with serious or terminal conditions and their loved ones, so they can enjoy their time together as a family, for as long as they have.

“I have always found it difficult to let go and allow someone else to take control but I trust the staff at Rainbows so much, it is great and it enables me to get some respite. Winnie loves the Multisensory Room and the Hydrotherapy Pool, in particular.” – Jade, Winnie’s mum.

As a charity, Rainbows is almost entirely dependent on people like you to provide the funds that keep our services going.
