Rainbow Trust previously had a partnership with Street Runners Ltd, a company that distributes and collects door-to-door bags for unwanted clothes. The partnership came to an end in January 2020 and since then we have received no further donations from the company.

We are concerned to hear that the old clothes collection bags bearing Rainbow Trust’s logo are now being used fraudulently throughout Kent. We have reported the situation to the police and Street Runners and we ask that Kent residents be alert to any clothes collection bags claiming to be raising money for Rainbow Trust as this is not the case.

We would hate to see members of the public generously donating clothing in good faith, believing they are supporting families with a seriously ill child, when instead they are unknowingly supporting criminal activity.
