Rainbow Trust Family Support Workers provide expert and dedicated practical and emotional support to families with a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness so they can make the most of their time together.
Family Support Workers are able to give the support families with a seriously ill child need as they navigate the frightening world they never thought they would find themselves in.
This practical and emotional support also helps to ease the anxiety and stresses that some families may be experiencing because they can’t see a way out or simply don’t know how to deal with their very difficult circumstances.

We pioneer life-saving research to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
From our volunteers and supporters to our scientists, doctors and nurses, we're all here to save more lives by preventing, controlling and curing all cancers. Together, we're leading the world in discovering and developing newer, kinder treatments and getting closer to cures. As a result we've helped double survival rates in just 40 years.
But we can't stop there. Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer and this statistic is getting worse. We don't receive Government funding for our research, so every step towards beating cancer relies on every pound donated. Research saves lives and our work is critical to ensuring more people beat this devastating disease.
Sooner or later we will find a way to cure all cancers. Let's make it sooner
