Rainbows is an international, not-for-profit organization that fosters emotional healing among children grieving a loss from a life-altering crisis.

Many children today face loss in a variety of forms. Some due to bereavement, separation or divorce or other significant change within family. Indeed within the community loss can be experienced due to fatal road accidents, through crime or through natural disasters. 

Rainbows offers peer support to assist children to talk about their loss and to begin the journey from hurt through healing to hope.

We want our children to grow in wholeness and “to have life to the full”.

The Rainbows Director in the Diocese of Salford is Peter Donnelly.

If your community is interested in becoming a RAINBOWS site or if you would like more information please contact the Office for Education.
