Get involved in the Great Rainbow Bake!

We would love you and the kids to join and take part in our Great Rainbow Bake, to raise money for seriously ill children and their families. Fundraise for Rainbow Trust by baking wonderful creations and asking for donations, or donating yourself, to help families with a seriously ill child when they need it, now more than ever. Sign up now, and receive lots of handy resources to help you with your fundraising!

Great Rainbow Playdate

Host a Rainbow Playdate and help us to ensure no family faces serious childhood illness alone. Whether you play in the garden, decorate biscuits, or play some rainbow themed games, your support will help families who are facing the unimaginable.

Download our handy activity resources and get creative! Get involved and create colourful decorations, rainbow-themed snacks, fun games (think obstacle courses, face painting, or even a mini bouncy castle!), and anything else that sparks joy.

Every playdate makes a difference.

7 walks for Rainbow Trust

Get the kids outside and join us as we embark on 7 Walks for Rainbow Trust. This charity event is all about spreading joy, creating unforgettable memories, and making a positive impact on the lives of families with young children facing serious illnesses. We're encouraging people to take seven walks in various locations, such as parks, countryside, and cities to support Rainbow Trust.

You can embark on these walks anytime and anywhere that suits you best. Whether it's a stroll in the park, a trek through the countryside, or a sandy adventure by the beach, every step you take is a step closer to making a difference.
