Why support Rainbow Trust?
When a child has a serious illness, family life is turned upside down and time becomes more previous than ever. Rainbow Trust pairs each family with an expect Family Support Worker who enables them to make the most of time together, giving them practical and emotional support, whenever they need it, for as long as they need it.

We support the whole family including parents, carers, the unwell child, siblings and grandparents. Support is hugely varied and depends on the needs of the family.
