As a charity, Rainbows is almost entirely dependent on people like you to provide the funds that keep their services going.

This is why I decided to abseil the 212ft (65 metres) Derby Cathedral tower. It looks much higher than it sounds, as you can see from the photo below. I'm now slightly scared!!

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

Rainbows provide specialist care and emotional support for babies, children and young people with serious or terminal conditions and their loved ones, so they can enjoy their time together as a family, for as long as they have.
