How your donations help Rainbow
Some donors like to feel they are paying for some particular part of our service so we have listed below some discreet areas of expenditure that you might like to consider sponsoring:
A child’s place
Some children attend just one or two days per week, others more frequently. The parents make a contribution but our fundraising efforts need to pay for the remaining 4/5. If you would like to help with this please contact Clare Acklam at clarea@rainbowcentre.org
Running the Centre for one week
Core costs; heat, light, staff, stationery,cleaning, telephone and IT are all essentials to support the service delivery. If you’d like to help with this please contact Clare Acklam at clarea@rainbowcentre.org
Running the Saturday and holiday clubs
For many children of school age, attending the Centre during the week is not an option. For these children we run out of hours clubs, the cost of which can be separated from the mainstream service delivery. For more information contact Clare Acklam at clarea@rainbowcentre.org
STEPs project (Schools’ Transition Education Partnership)
When our children approach school age there is a process of activity involving producing a Statement of special education need, choosing the appropriate school setting, preparing the child and assisting the school staff. Staff at The Rainbow Centre are completely involved with this process to support the family and do their best to ensure a smooth transition for the child. Contact Clare Acklam if you would like to help fund this project at clarea@rainbowcentre.org
Adult Services
These also need financial support in the the same way as the Children’s services. If you would like to focus your help on the MS Parkinson’s or Stroke groups please contact Clare Acklam at clarea@rainbowcentre.org
