Rainbow Trust's past 25 years
During the past 25 years, Rainbow Trust has supported approximately 15,000 families all over England. It all started when Bernadette Cleary, Rainbow Trust's founder, was a friend to a neighbour in need.
A word from Rainbow’s founder, Bernadette Cleary
I am enormously proud of all the fundraisers, Family Support Workers and silent heroes who have made it possible for Rainbow Trust to give every child we support an enhanced quality of life during their illness.
Of course it is the families we help that make Rainbow the special organisation that it continues to be; one of the joys of working with children, even in their dying days, is that each day is taken as it comes. They fill each moment with all manner of things; I have played cards, gone Christmas shopping and undertaken whirlwind tours of leisure parks all in the last twenty-four hours of life.
Thank you to all of our supporters and on behalf of all those families whom you have helped and all those to come, many, many thanks.
