Christmas cheer and goodwill were plentiful at Ealing Choral Society’s carol concert last Saturday, raising £5,780 for Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity.

The money will go towards Rainbow Trust’s work providing expert social palliative care 24 hours a day to families when their child has a life threatening or terminal illness. Rainbow Trust has nine care teams across England, including two in London, supporting over 2,000 families with seriously ill children at home, in hospital and in the community, to help make their lives a little easier.

Emma Haines, Rainbow Trust’s Director of Marketing and Fundraising, said: “We are so grateful to Ealing Choral Society for raising this fantastic sum which will go towards supporting families with a seriously ill child when they need it most. Fundraising events such as this make a huge difference to Rainbow Trust, both raising awareness and helping fund our Family Support Workers who make life a little easier for families by helping them at home, in hospital and in the community.”
