In our jobs at Harrier we’re constantly reminded about how important our health is and how we should do everything to protect it. But for some unfortunate people, young people at that, their health conditions are destined to cruelly cut their lives short. Hearing about the remarkable role a local hospice plays in brightening up the precious remaining months kids with life-limited conditions endure really tugged on our heart strings. That’s why we’re lending Rainbow, East Midlands’ only such hospice, our ongoing support as a Business Club sponsor.
Based in Loughborough, the heart-lifting hospice provides much needed respite for children and their families. Rainbows relieves the symptoms, improves the quality of life and cares for children until the very end. It also aids their families through the inevitable trauma of bereavement. Over 300 families each year benefit from its excellent care and more than double that number rely on its bereavement support.
Children there are encouraged to enjoy life as much as possible thanks to a host of specialised facilities including multi-sensory equipment, adapted accommodation, a hydrotherapy pool and a music room. Run by an incredible bunch of people, there’s no shortage of care and support as well as smiles and laughter but they do have limited funds.
By joining the Rainbows Business Club we pledge to support this guiding light in hospice care through a regular monthly donation. If you would like to join us you can find lots of information on the Rainbows Hospice website.
