Rainbows cares for hundreds of families every year who have a baby, child or young person with a serious or terminal illness that means that their lives will be shorter than most.

By fundraising for Rainbows you will be helping to support babies, children, young people and their families living with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions, here in the East Midlands.

Every penny you raise, will help support our vital work here at the Hospice, in the local community and in hospitals.

About Rainbows

We support every baby, child and young person to fulfil their potential, and help families make the most of every precious moment, while capturing memories and keepsakes to treasure.

We’re here for the whole family, offering comfort and compassion during tough times, providing the highest level of professional care until the end, and support after.

Simply put, we’re here to brighten short lives, and support families, wherever they are.
