We are extremely pleased that essential funding for hospices has been confirmed for the next 3 years. However, we still remain mostly reliant on the generosity of our donors to enable us to support those babies, children and young people who access Rainbows services from across the East Midlands.

Only 13% of our costs are funded through statutory funding, so this support is vital.

Together For Short Lives, the UK’s leading charity for Children’s Palliative Care, are urging ministers to protect, maintain and increase ringfenced NHS funding for children’s hospices in England from £26 million this year to £30 million by 2030.

Children’s hospices are a lifeline for seriously ill children, young people and their families.

At Rainbows, we provide a multitude of services that help our babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions make the most of every moment. 🌈
