Story

Every year I organise some Fishing related events to raise money for Rainbow Trust Children's Charity.  This year is no exception and with a number of matches and sponsored events planned, I have set myself a challenging target of raising £5,500 as this will pay for 100 Hospital Support Sessions.

Hospital visits are often a nightmare for the families that we support.  Travelling long distances to unfamiliar cities, parking and juggling the care of a sick child and worried siblings is hard work. Often families are forced to take public transport to appointments, with a sick child and their siblings.  Our Family Support Workers pick up the whole family, take them to their hospital appointment, look after siblings during the appointment and return the family home safely.

At present, Rainbow Trust supports 1,000 families a year through our 8 teams of Family Support Workers across the country.  Only a lack of funds prevents us from helping more.

You don't have to be a fshing person to donate here, just someone who wants to help a very good cause.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks for your support, it really is appreciated.
