2020 was a year full of disappointments, to put it lightly, with job furloughs, cancelled holidays and postponed weddings to name but a few. However, it was also a year that sparked hope with neighbours looking out for one another, random acts of kindness being performed and rainbows popping up in windows.

Here at Friends of Serenity we launched our Rainbow Baby Boxes for the East Lancashire families who have their rainbow baby after being referred through the Rainbow Clinic. These have been hugely successful and in just 8 months we've supplied the clinic with 75 boxes! As we move into 2021 we want to boost our fundraising efforts in order to make more rainbow boxes and other rainbow keepsakes to provide for families who have their rainbow baby regardless of their referral pathway. The boxes cost us between £45-£50, (costing the charity around £3750 in just 8 months) to create with each item carefully selected and wrapped by hand.

Can you help us raise funds or even donate towards our campaign? Why not share your disappointment of 2020 by spreading some hope and rainbows by donating to the campaign and writing in the comments why you've donated? As little as £2 allows a family family to capture those precious rainbow footprints and £45 will pay for a whole box for a family.
