Making a difference

The charity, which directly assists families with a child that has a life-threatening or terminal illness, partnered up with our South Thames team in April 2023 with a goal of raising over £30,000.

Since then, our employees have walked, cycled, ran and baked their way to raising an impressive £41,128 for the charity, smashing their original target by more than £11,000. 

The funds raised will help the charity provide 10 months of practical and emotional support for 100 individuals who are affected by serious childhood illnesses. 

Development

Our South Thames team kicked off its volunteering with a family event at Bocketts Farm, organised by Rainbow Trust. This gave the families that Rainbow Trust supports a chance to have some fun, whilst having access to additional support from their family support worker and volunteers who helped to entertain siblings.

In addition to this, a team of six Customer Service Operators from our South Thames team helped revamp a sibling’s bedroom and a family’s balcony that was in need of some sprucing up. A group of three volunteers also helped raise over £12,000 by supporting the charity's annual golf day at Tyrrells Wood Golf Club.
