Each year shoppers are able to make huge savings from big brand retailers during Black Friday and Cyber Monday as prices are slashed both online and in-store. As part of our Giving Tuesday campaign, we are calling on shoppers to take part in a charity price match and donate their savings to Rainbow Trust this year.
Rainbow Trust receive less than 3% funding from government so it is only through the generosity of our supporters that we are able to help families caring for a seriously ill child when they need us most. To learn more about the impact the support we provide has on families watch A Day With Amelia
