In May 2021 Lewis's friends and family took part in the Walk for Lewis 18 miles for 18 years. The money raised has allowed the trust to fulfil Lewis's wishes to be able to support young people in being able to apply and audition for theatre schools and courses. As a result of the previous support and generosity, in its first year, the trust has been able to award grants to young people in the East Midlands and to set up the Lewis Sewell scholarship in partnership with the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
Since this time, Rainbows has successfully launched a programme to place nurses in the regions hospitals to provide specialist holistic care to more life-limited or life-threatened children and their families. This programme has seen around 30% more neonates, children and young people referred to us. We couldn't have achieved this without the support of people like you.
