Trusts and Foundations
Rainbows receives amazing support from a range of Charitable Trusts and Foundations. This generosity makes a huge difference to children and families from across the East Midlands and enables us to continue delivering our incredible care and support.
A huge thank you to all of the amazing Charitable Trusts and Foundations who support us.
The National Lottery Community Fund
The National Lottery Community Fund are providing amazing funding to support the transformation of Rainbows community services. A grant over 2 years will mean that we are able to develop and grow our community outreach services and reach more children and families as well as providing more services where they are needed.
Moto Foundation
Moto Foundation have supported physiotherapy in our hydrotherapy pool. The award from Moto Foundation means we can provide beneficial therapeutic water activities and hydrotherapy sessions for children and young people with serious and terminal conditions from across the East Midlands.
Samuel Gardner Memorial Trust
The Samuel Gardner Memorial Trust is a grant-giving charity supporting music education, the arts, and the natural world. Their grant has kindly supported music therapy at Rainbows meaning babies, children and young people can access music therapy in the hospice, at home and in the hospitals.
East Midlands Airport Community Fund
East Midlands Airport Community Fund have helped fund the installation of our electric car charging points. The grant from the Community Fund has meant we have been able to install a number of charging points as well as the infrastructure to expand the provision in the future.
Morrisons and Together for Short Lives: Building a Legacy Together Grant
As part of the partnership between Together for Short Lives and Morrisons, the Building a Legacy Together grant was created to fund vital renovations and purchase specialist equipment to further support families caring for a child with a life-limiting condition. Rainbows were awarded a grant to refurbish the kitchen in our young people’s lounge, making it fully accessible for the young people who come to Rainbows.
