Mission Statement
Rainbow Trust provides emotional and practical support for families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness
Description
Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity provides emotional and practical support for families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. Set up in 1986, we offer the whole family individually tailored high quality support through our nine teams of Family Support Workers.
We offer support at any stage of illness, from diagnosis, during treatment and throughout bereavement. Very importantly, there is no time limit to the care we provide. The care given to families is non-medical and is specifically tailored to the individual needs and circumstances of each family.
