Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity is thrilled to announce that once again we have been chosen as one of the official Charity Partners for CarFest 2026, the UK’s biggest family fundraising festival founded by Chris Evans.
This year’s partnership is extra special, as Rainbow Trust celebrates 40 years of supporting families with a seriously ill child, and CarFest begins an exciting new chapter at Silverstone, the home of British motorsport. Together, we’ll be marking these milestones with a weekend full of music, cars, family fun and community!
CarFest has been a proud supporter of Rainbow Trust for many years, helping us provide vital practical and emotional support to families when they need it most. Rainbow Trust has been a beneficiary charity of CarFest since 2019, making CarFest one of the biggest ever supporters of Rainbow Trust. With this funding we have been able to fund over 42,000 hours of support to families who are struggling to cope. This is a shining example of how fun, music, and great kindness can have a huge impact on the lives of seriously ill children and their families.
We want extend our heartfelt thanks to Chris Evans and the CarFest team for championing our cause and sharing our belief that no family should face serious childhood illness alone
