Hospice opening its doors to the public

- By Peter Warrington peter.warrington@trinitymir­ror.com

COME and experience the beauty of Rainbows - that’s the message from the Loughborou­gh-based hospice which is throwing its doors open to the public for a day of celebratio­n.

An open invitation has been issued to people to visit the hospice on Saturday, September 16, from 10.30am3pm to view the facilities, enjoy the gardens – and obtain a sense of how the charity is able to provide vital support to youngsters and their families when they need it most.

And there’s plenty to celebrate. There’s a beautiful new sensory garden for visitors to enjoy and the hospice has also added a vibrant and colourful new reception area.

Guided tours of the hospice facilities will take place at regular intervals throughout the day.

Helen Lee-Smith, Head of Individual Giving at Rainbows, said: “Rainbows is an inspiratio­nal place where we extend the best possible care in a loving, joyous environmen­t – and the focus is on making every day special for those who come to us.”

Everyone’s welcome, whether you are new to Rainbows, or already a supporter. There’s live music and dance, arts and crafts stalls, tea and cakes for all.

Try your hand at messy play, hand-printing, or sample our gym facilities. Children (of all ages!) are welcome to enjoy the soft play area, experience the sensory room, or have fun in the outside play area.

The fun-packed day promises something for everyone – and an opportunit­y to see what Rainbows is all about. It is also a day for families who may benefit from the support offered by Rainbows to learn more about the hospice services and facilities, and to meet staff.
