Support Rainbows by doing 20 good deeds

Youngsters can support children and young people at Rainbows Hospice by taking on 20 good deeds this summer holidays.

We have launched our Do 20 for 20 campaign to coincide with our 20^th birthday celebrations this year. Throughout the summer, children are encouraged to raise vital funds by doing 20 good deeds in return for a donation from their family. Every time a good deed is carried out, a sticker is earned for children to complete a challenge sticker sheet.

Katie Baxter, community and events manager at Rainbows, said: “This is a great way for youngsters to get involved and support Rainbows, as well as helping out at home and keeping entertained over the summer. There are lots of things they could do such as going without something, cleaning, selling things or gardening or they may have plenty of their own ideas.

“People can donate whatever they think the deed is worth and everything raised goes towards supporting the work of the hospice. Raising £10 would pay for an hour’s worth of care, £20 would fund one hour of physiotherapy and an hour of external bereavement support would cost £50.

“It would be great to have the support of youngsters in the East Midlands, especially in what is such an important year for us.”
