Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People

Who we are

Since 1994 we’ve opened our doors and hearts to those children and the people who love them most. And now more than ever, we need your help to keep on bringing care and happiness to our children and families.

As the East Midlands’ only hospice for children and young people, we provide vital care and support to families impacted by life-limiting conditions. 

Your support means we can provide end of life care, symptom management, short breaks and respite care. We can also be there to support parents and siblings through their bereavements.

Our team are there for families when they need us the most, but we couldn’t do our work without the help of people like you. We know that together we can bring more love, smiles and laughter to our children, young people and families.

Our culture and values

Our vision is to create the “Rainbows Experience” wherever you are. Our mission is that across the East Midlands we will:

• transform care for those babies, children and young people who have a life-limiting or life-threatening condition.
• relieve the pain and symptoms associated with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
• support every baby, child and young person to achieve their full potential.
• create memories for families to treasure.
• provide comfort and compassion at the time of and following the death of a baby, child or young person.

Our Values:

• One Team
• People Centered
• Aim High
• Own It
