Rainbow Trust Children's Charity provides emotional and practical support to families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness. Their headquarters are in Leatherhead, Surrey.[2] They have care workers based in Swindon, Essex, Southampton, Cumbria, Surrey, Manchester, Durham, and London.[3]

The charity was founded in 1986 by Bernadette Cleary OBE when she helped a neighbour with palliative care for her child.[2][4]

Activities

The charity helps families by providing non-medical services, such as assistance with household chores,[5] sibling supervision,[5] and transportation to and from medical appointments,[6] aiming to maintain normal family life. It also offers bereavement support.[7]
