When serious illness affects a child, family life is turned upside down and time becomes more precious than ever. Rainbow Trust pairs each family with a dedicated expert Family Support Worker to help them face and make the most of each new day. £10 could pay for a basic sensory toy to entertain a seriously child with special needs. £26 is enough to pay for an hours practical and emotional support to a family caring for a seriously ill child, helping them make the most of their precious time. £44 could buy a memory box, a wonderful way to capture memories of treasured times. Our Family Support Workers help decorate each box together with brothers and sisters whilst providing much-needed emotional support. £182 pays for a days visit from a Family Support Worker which allows parents to do chores, look after other family members, relax or simply sleep, safe in the knowledge that their child is being looked after by someone they trust who understands their needs.
