Story

Sadly, some children just don't live long enough.

As the East Midlands only hospice for children and young people, Rainbows is a place where life-limited children and their families can find care and support. Our incredible team of people help relieve symptoms, improve quality of life, support parents and siblings through their bereavements and care for children until the end.

Please take a look at our tour to see what we do and hear from some of the families that we support, please take a look at some of their stories to inspire you.

Rainbows is a place where children can laugh, play and make every precious moment count, while families already bereaved are supported through the toughest times. Because of you and other supporters like you, a family will be able to make special memories they will cherish forever and bring a smile to their child's face as they laugh and play.

Please help the team brighten short lives - thank you.
