Trade association beam has announced Rainbow Trust
Children’s Charity as its new charity partner.
Rainbow Trust provides emotional and practical support to families across England who are facing
unimaginable challenges. With over 86,000 children living with life-threatening
conditions, the charity pairs each family with an expert Family Support Worker
who offers assistance to parents, carers, siblings, and grandparents, helping
them navigate their daily struggles.
Louisa Watson, chair of beam, said: “I’m delighted that The Rainbow Trust was unanimously
selected as beam’s new charity partner. We are incredibly inspired by
the amazing work they do supporting families with seriously ill children and
are excited about the opportunity to collaborate for future initiatives.
“Beam members are always passionate about championing
meaningful causes, and we truly believe this partnership will help shine a
light on the invaluable support Rainbow Trust provides across the UK. We’re
looking forward to working together to make a real difference over the coming
years.”
Katherine Burgess, corporate and community fundraising manager of Rainbow Trust, added: “We are absolutely thrilled to have been chosen as beam's
next charity partner and want to say a huge thank you to the association for
taking the time to learn more about the support that we offer to families
caring for a seriously ill child. Rainbow Trust does not receive any government
funding, and so we simply cannot provide our free service without this type of
vital support.
“With some key dates already in the diary, we are excited to
introduce members to our work. Most importantly, we are looking forward to
seeing what we can achieve together so families can continue to receive the
support they so desperately need.”
Beam will support Rainbow Trust through fundraising
at future events, including its Members Meeting on Wednesday 30 April and Annual
Forum on July 3-4.
