Story

Put a heart in our Rainbow for The Countess and all key workers


We are very excited to announce our latest fundraising initiative in partnership with the British Ironwork Centre. A large structure will be built in the shape of a rainbow to commemorate and remember 2020 and all those who played a part in taking care of others. We have all loved seeing the rainbows on display in windows, on roundabouts and on t-shirts so we thought it would be a great fundraising idea to create something that will last! 


Our good friends at Medicash are sponsoring the structure and we are inviting everyone to buy one or more of the thousands of hearts we need in the colour of their choice.


This will be a lasting tribute to all key workers who worked so hard during 2020. We see children being proud that this is to mark the work of their parents and patients thanking staff for care and look forward to the support of the Chester community in making this happen.
Funds raised for this project will go towards our main appeal Blue Skies Balcony. 


Each heart can be sponsored for a minimum of £10 - we will send you a favour to keep in your purse or pocket about the colour you choose.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet make up our rainbow.
We hope to complete the Rainbow in the summer of 2021.

Make sure you write in the comments which colour you wish to sponsor and in the payment section be sure to leave your address so we can send your favour out to you.
