On 1st July I visited Rainbows hospice in
Loughborough. It was an incredibly humbling experience, learning about how the
hospice treats each different child as an individual and how they support the
whole family not just the child with the illness. The hospice had a
hydrotherapy pool, sensory room, soft play area, computer room as well as much
more. I had a tour of the hospice by Caroline who was showing me just where
people’s donations go to, and I can honestly say that it is definitely a
worthwhile charity. It costs £4 million a year to run the hospice and this is mostly down to people's donations.
The hospice also had a beautiful garden with slides and
swings that were adapted to be able to have wheelchairs on them. Rainbow’s was
a happy and relaxed place and a place that I will always be grateful of having
the opportunity to visit. I was able to give in donations from collections I had
done as well as activity pack sweets and chocolates which I know the children
will be grateful for, and so I thank everybody who donated to make this
possible and I hope to visit again later in the year. If you would like to
donate to Rainbow’s you can either do so through their website or on just
giving. Thank you J
