Local Offer
Rainbows offers Palliative and end of life care for children suffering from life limiting conditions who are not expected to reach/live far into adulthood.
Care can be provided at the hospice or at home. Although young adults over 18 years can use an adult hospice, those who have used Rainbows for much of their lives may prefer to stay with familiar surroundings and staff.
Rainbows also provide support and activities for brothers and sisters and bereavement support.
