Louise Bingham, Corporate Partnerships Manager for Rainbow Trust says: “We’re really grateful to UK Mail for not only donating their reward money to Rainbow Trust, but matching it as well. The money raised is the equivalent of paying for the transport costs of one of our Family Support Workers for around two months. This means 25 families are able to get to hospital for essential appointments, on time and without the stress of public transport. Rainbow Trust rely almost entirely on fundraising to carry out our services, so donations like this are essential for us to continue offering vital support to families when they need it most.”
