This project will provide emotional and practical support to siblings who have a terminally ill brother or sister.

Rainbow Trust supports families of children who are terminally-ill or with a life-threatening condition. We support families from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond - whatever the outcome. Our Family Support Workers fill the gaps between hospital, home and hospice like no one else can so seriously ill children and their families are not isolated and have the help and support they need to face very difficult daily challenges.

Rainbow Trust supports children with a life threatening or terminal illness and their families. Our dedicated Family Support Workers provide emotional and practical support to the whole family: the seriously ill child, their brothers and sisters, their parents or carers and the extended family. Support to deal with fear, grief, pain and frustration is offered within the family's own home, at hospital, at school and in the wider community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

This project will help Rainbow Trust Children's Charity to continue providing emotional and practical support to life-threatened or seriously ill children and their families who, in the current coronavirus crisis, are facing their already difficult day-to-day becoming the impossible. We want to be able to continue supporting the 2,500 vulnerable families we currently help. We can only continue to do all this if we have money to fund it.
