Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity provides support to families with a seriously ill child, recognising that family life is profoundly affected during such times, especially when you’re also part of a military family.
Understanding that time becomes more precious than ever, Rainbow Trust pairs each family with an expert family support worker. These workers offer practical and emotional support tailored to the family’s needs, ensuring they make the most of their time together, whenever they need it, and for as long as necessary.
The charity supports the entire family unit, including parents, carers, the sick child, siblings and grandparents. The assistance provided is bespoke to each family. This can involve listening to fears and anxieties, explaining illnesses, diagnoses and treatments, keeping a seriously ill child company during hospital stays, driving families to medical appointments, organising fun activities for the sick child and their siblings, and offering support through bereavement and grief.
