As a CarFest 2019 Charity partner, we are excited to be heading to Cheshire on Friday.

CarFest is a three-day family-orientated festival, which attracts over 100,000 people, and has raised over £13.5 million.

This year’s CarFest will take place from July 26-28 in Cheshire, followed by August 23-25 in Hampshire.

TV actress Jill Halfpenny, who recently became an Ambassador for Rainbow Trust, took to social media to thank ‘CarFesters’ as 10% of the total profits raised from ticket sales will go to Rainbow Trust.

The money that CarFest raises will enable us to provide vital support to more than 100 seriously ill children - like nine-year-old Henry who is awaiting a kidney transplant from his dad, Godfrey.

Nicki, a Rainbow Trust Family Support Worker, currently helps the family by providing much-needed respite for parents, Godfrey and Beccy, and spends time with Henry’s brother Thomas.

The family will be attending CarFest North to talk about the positive impact Rainbow Trust has had on their family. Godfrey said:

“Nicki is there whenever we need her. She provides us with much needed emotional support. While she can’t cure Henry’s condition, she can and does help us cope day-to-day.”

If you are heading to CarFest North this weekend or next month, start the fun the minute you get into your car with our CarFest Pack. Get yours here.
