Rainbows Children's Hospice, based in Loughborough, Leicestershire is the children's hospice for the East Midlands.

Children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions come to the hospice for specialist respite stays, symptom management, palliative and end-of-life care. Their families, too, are supported and helped by Rainbows on their difficult journey.

At Rainbows the emphasis is on enriching life and making each minute of each short life count.

Each child is treated as an individual and helped by the skilled, experienced team to get the most from life and enjoy it to the full.
