For the first week in December, companies in the East Midlands who donate to Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People will see their donation doubled.
This year, Rainbows is taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge – the UK’s biggest match-funded campaign. The charity’s goal is to raise £80,000 for its Hospice at Home service, to provide more families across the East Midlands the support and expert medical care they need so they can enjoy their time together, for as long as they have.
Every pound given between 12noon on Tuesday 2 December and 12noon on Tuesday 9 December will be match funded by the not-for-profit charitable initiative the Big Give. Meaning every donation will have double the impact for Rainbows’ families.
Melanie Bodaly, Rainbows Partnerships and Events Manager, said: “This Christmas you can help us give families the gift of choice of where to spend their final moments. For families with children who have terminal conditions, home is often where they want to be when receiving end-of-life care.
“At Rainbows, our Hospice at Home service takes our specialist nursing care into the family home. During the most unimaginable times, they help parents and children spend their final days together, how they wish.
“By supporting Rainbows through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, you can make twice the impact, helping us deliver vital care and support to more families who wish to spend their final days together at home.”
