Bequests & Legacies

Make a Difference!

An appeal by Helen Somerset-How, Co-founder of The Rainbow Centre.
Leave a Gift - sometimes called legacies or bequests.
1990 was a great year. The Rainbow Centre was born, giving children with cerebral palsy an opportunity to improve their lot and their  families an opportunity to become a family with a disabled child rather than a disabled family. I understand that difference; my family is  one of those lucky enough to benefit. My disabled son is now at university. I have a life and so do his brother and sister.

Since 1990 The Rainbow Centre has given more than 400 disabled children a step-up on to their ladder of life. It has transformed children's lives and those of their families. Children whose families had no hope, found hope and support. The Centre has given a better quality of life to families who otherwise may have stayed in the depths of despair.

Joseph's family
- told to "turn off the machine and go away and have another baby"- Joseph now plays golf with his father.
Chloe
- constantly banged her head on the floor with frustration because she couldn't walk - is now walking around a mainstream school in Guernsey.
Patrick
- whose family was told to prepare for a wheelchair - is now walking with two sticks.

This vital work must continue. We can do so much more - with a little help from our friends. So when the time is right for you and after you've provided for your family perhaps you might consider helping us with our work.  A gift made in your will, sometimes called a legacy or bequest, will make a huge difference and enable us to continue changing lives. Your gift could offer us new opportunities to achieve our goals for the future.

  • More children helped towards independence.

  • Better quality of life for their families.

  • Expansion of services to help children with other motor disabilities.

  • Help for adults with MS, Parkinson's disease and stroke patients.
  • Help with Asperger's syndrome.

 Make a difference! Help us, to help them learn to help themselves.

Thank you.

"Where there's a will there's a way"
The National Will Writing Company supports the Rainbow Centre

The National Will Writing Company has teamed up with The Rainbow Centre to bring you a comprehensive will-writing service that will guide you around the difficult area of providing for your family.

The Company was founded in 1998 and has years of experience in Estate Planning and Will writing and aims to provide you with a very personal service, understanding your situation and needs and giving you the best possible advice towards securing a future for your family when you are no longer able to. Someone will visit you in your own home, at your convenience to ensure the most comfortable environment for you.

In addition, the company has offered to give 25% of its fee as a gift to The Rainbow Centre for every Will drawn up. Another good reason to get in touch.
