Every two years, Rokeby boys shortlist and vote for the school’s House Charity, which we then support by holding mufti days, cake sales, and other events at school.
In 2024-2025, we are supporting Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity for the second and final year.
About Rainbow Trust
An estimated 86,625 children in England have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. Many thousands of families have to face the all too real possibility that their child may die and struggle to cope on a day-to-day basis. Rainbow Trust’s Family Support Workers provide a lifeline to these families and children.
How Rainbow Trust Helps
Rainbow Trust supports the whole family including parents, carers, the unwell child, brothers, sisters and grandparents. Support is hugely varied and depends on the needs of the family. It can include:
- listening to a family’s fears and anxieties
- helping to explain illnesses, diagnoses and treatments
- keeping a seriously ill child company during hospital stays
- driving families to medical appointments to help save time and money
- organising fun activities to help sick children, their brothers and sisters
- support through bereavement and grief.
