The Rainbow Song

The Rainbow Song was born when three North East business owners came together at this difficult time to create something positive that helps those in great need.

The rainbow symbol has become a beacon of hope during the COVID-19 crisis for those at the centre of it.

Lucy Craig, owner of Kinder Castle nursery and Craig Healthcare, who runs two residential and dementia care homes in Longbenton and Cramlington, professional singer and actor Alfie Dobson and leading community group of film makers supporting organisations in the region, North East Films decided that the best way to garner support was to utilise this rainbow symbol and do this to raise much needed funds for The Sunshine Fund.

The charity works to support some of the most vulnerable children and families in the North East by raising money to buy disabled children in the region specialist equipment that they are unable to get from the NHS or local authorities. The charity is hugely affected at the moment as it’s unable to carry out its usual range of fundraising activities to raise much needed funds.

Additional Information

Alfie is a well-known North East performer who regularly entertains residents at Craig Healthcare’s homes and he sings on the song that’s been produced by North East Films. Alfie and the guys behind North East Films, director Ferson and cameraman Gaz Davies, have offered their creative services and production resources to support the Rainbow Song project. All proceeds of this song will be donated to The Sunshine Fund, with everyone involved offering their services for free.

Alfie, Ferson and Lucy said: “As three local business owners, we have come together and used our own difficult journeys through life to show how passion and commitment to want to make a difference, however small, and take a selfless act of kindness to support someone during this incredibly difficult time is possible.

“We are all experiencing pain right now in very different ways and it’s such an important time to prioritise kindness over profit and business. It’s a unique idea that we hope will make a genuine difference and raise a smile for the families, and children, the charity supports when they thought they had lost every glimmer of hope. Right now, we all need to care.”

The donation couldn’t have come at a more important time for the charity who has issued an urgent appeal for donations in light of the coronavirus pandemic impact on fundraising activities. The lockdown has also seen a rise in demand from families in great need for specialised equipment to help and enable their children.

Rainbow Symbol

The Rainbow Song, which is a nod to the rainbow symbol being a beacon of hope during this time of crisis, will be released on Monday 27^th April 2020.

Any help, however small, is greatly appreciated.
