This year Rainbow Trust celebrates its 25th anniversary. Founded in 1986, we have now supported thousands of families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. With the help of the families who share their inspirational stories about the difference Rainbow has made to their lives, we have been able to raise our profile and tell more people about the valuable work that we do.
From the humble beginnings of two staff and a kitchen table to work from, Rainbow is now a national charity and supports approximately 1000 families across England. Thanks to the dedication and hard-work of staff and volunteers, Rainbow continues to grow year on year and makes progress towards achieving its vision that one day all terminally ill children and their families will have access to a Rainbow carer.
To mark this anniversary, Rainbow will be holding special profile raising fundraising activities to make this year our most successful yet.
Well, we conquered the 3 peaks, though sub zero temperatures at the top of Ben Nevis (there were patches of snow!), torrential rain at Scafell Pike (apparently 6 inches of rain fell!), a near white out and gusts of gale force wind on Snowden (and getting lost twice!) and a minibus whose max speed was 62mph sadly put paid to 24hrs.
However, given the extreme weather (please check out the photos we have uploaded), we are all extremely proud of ourselves - if a little sore! - and have some great memories.
Thank you very much again to all of those who have donated.
Best of luck!Donation by Stephen Michell
