The Harry'S Rainbow Charitable Trust

Well done Linda Goddard for winning Saturdays bonus ball with No. 53.

24 teenagers joined us today for an afternoon out at Locked in a Room and Kaspas. The youth group focusses on young people aged 12-18 years old who have been bereaved of a parent or sibling, giving them opportunities to build on friendships formed at the regular groups.

Do you know any businesses or individuals who are looking to fulfil their Corporate Social Responsibility or would like to support a local charity in some way?? We’re holding our first Annual Celebration evening, incorporating our AGM as well as an awards presentation. We will be showcasing our work with a new video which is the perfect opportunity for you to come along and see exactly why we need your support and how we work with our partners and supporters. With a canapé and prosecco reception, a mini beer tasting class and a chance to win a Masterclass for 2, this is looking to be a great night! Read more and sign up below! I lol forward to seeing you there !! https://www.harrysrainbow.co.uk/…/annua l-celebration-evenin…

Massive thank you to DHL Bedford for collecting £296.32 in their collection pot.

It was lovely to be invited over to the Kuehne + Nagel Distribution Milton Keynes, to be presented with a cheque for £4500.
Lyn Carter nominated Harry's Rainbow to benefit from their charity fund, as she was good friends with one of our beneficiaries.

Statistics taken in 2015 show that 170 children in Milton Keynes were bereaved of a parent !
We support local children who have been bereaved of a parent or sibling by facilitating contact with others through our groups and trips as well as providing vital resources and memory boxes. We also arrange short breaks to our Rainbow Retreat.
We have created Wear A Rainbow day to raise awareness of the needs of bereaved children and to reach out to those needing support!!
... We need your help to do this!!

Massive thank you to Masonic Charitable Foundation for granting Harry's Rainbow £2500 to put towards our running costs.

We’re a local Milton Keynes charity supporting local children who have been bereaved of a parent or sibling. We do this by facilitating contact with others through our groups and trips as well as providing vital resources and memory boxes.
We have created Wear A Rainbow day in support of Children’s Grief Awareness Day to raise awareness of the support that is so desperately needed for children when they are faced with the unimaginable pain of losing a significant family memb...er.
Raising awareness of the needs of these children is so important. It is often believed that children are resilient but what many don’t realise is that we need to provide the tools to help them build this resilience.
Please take part in our campaign and Wear A Rainbow on Thursday 15th November.

With numbers reaching a record high we worked hard to facilitate our 83 beneficiaries at this months Rainbow Group. Activities were varied with the youth group focussing on creating their feelings pin board while the younger children created Halloween loot bags. Everyone enjoyed filling their Lego books, kindly donated by Sainsburys and as always, the ladies created a wonderful spread of food and refreshments for us all. There really is something for everyone at our groups from football to pool and crafts to toddler toys, what we all have in common though is the loss of a significant family member and the need to feel that we are not alone. Spending time with others who are experiencing similar emotions and feelings is crucial to our wellbeing and self esteem so this service is vital to the futures of bereaved children.

What a lovely and welcoming experience I’ve just had visiting Cold Harbour School student council, made up of children from reception to year 6! They asked me along to talk about our Wear a Rainbow campaign and I am so impressed with how engaging they were. You should be very proud parents and teachers. I’m looking forward to seeing your pictures on #weararainbow day 😁🌈

We want to thank the riders for raising a breathtaking £12000 for Harry's Rainbow, this money will used towards sending our beneficiaries to the Rainbow Retreat.

Our first Rainbow Group back was our most attended group since starting them in 2012. This is a reflection of the need of the support we offer, and how facilitating the opportunity for the children and young people to spend time together, really does make a difference to them! Our next group is next Monday and our beneficiaries have been sent details today.
