How we help families

Although we do not have a magic wand, Rainbow Trust does understand the importance of creating a little bit of magic and just how precious time can be, as we support families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness.

Our Family Support Workers provide families with emotional and practical support amid the chaos of medicines, hospitals and endless appointments, giving them a sense of normality and the ability to cope with everyday life.

No family can prepare for hearing the news that their child is seriously ill, but we aim to support families in any way we can, so they do not have to go through it alone. Sitting with siblings while they wait for their brother or sister’s treatment, taking families to and from hospital appointments, collecting siblings from school, or simply making a cup of tea for an exhausted parent.

Our support can come in many forms and although we cannot provide a cure, we can provide an extra pair of hands and ears, and be there through some of the toughest times a family will ever face.
