This year, Rainbow Trust celebrates 40 years of supporting seriously ill children and their families.  

In 1986, Rainbow Trust’s story began with a single act of compassion from a remarkable woman, Bernadette Cleary.  

For four decades since, Rainbow Trust has continued to support families at a time when they need it most. 

This would not have been possible without the generosity, commitment and kindness of supporters like you. Your support enables Family Support Workers to help seriously ill children and their families, ensuring they do not have to cope alone.

In this special edition of Families First, we look back across the decades, sharing stories from families, supporters, staff and volunteers who helped shape Rainbow Trust.
