Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Rainbows Children's Hospice will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

2007/8 sees the launch of Rainbows Hospice ‘Building for the Future’ appeal to expand the hospice and develop the facilities. This will benefit everyone who currently depends on Rainbows. The six extra beds that will be incorporated will allow children and young people and their families/friends to have more nights staying in the hospice. 

The appeal will raise money to redesign the current hospice facilities to allow young people their own purposely-designed separate sleeping unit so that all age groups can use the hospice at the same time. (They can’t at present because of Dept of Health regulations).

The new building will offer more opportunities to the children and young people - a hydrotherapy pool, young people’s sitting room, extended therapy facilities, an education and training suite, and new offices for the community and activity teams.

This appeal is so important and will benefit all the children, young people and families in the care of the hospice. The improved facilities will help current hospice services expand further to meet the needs of these very special people.

So please support us now!

Many thanks for your support.
