Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity has launched a fun, simple, summer activity called the Summertime Picnic.
The idea is straightforward host a picnic and ask friends and family to make a donation to Rainbow Trust. It can be a picnic in the garden, the park or even inside on a carpet, weather depending.
