On 9th October 2020, Rainbow Wishes were notified of a family in Eastbourne that had suffered a house fire. With the help of Athena at Asda Eastbourne we were able to collect brand new items including duvets, pillows, teddies for the children and clothing & toiletries for all the family, to Chris Berry, his wife & 3 children. They were so thankful & it was our pleasure to be involved & to put a smile on their faces during such a difficult time.
On 16th October, we were very pleased to meet the lovely ladies, Betty & Mandy, from Bourne Out LGBT. We had a tour of their cafe & Rainbow Shop which we loved. We were thrilled that we were able to donate to their cause which helps so many local people & is close to our Rainbow Wishes hearts! Keep doing what you’re doing ladies, we will be back to visit soon. Please pop over to their Facebook page & if you’re local to Eastbourne, pop in to their cafe for a cuppa & yummy cake!
On 30th October 2020, we received an absolutely amazing grant from The National Lottery Community Fund! We were over the moon to be recognised as a worthy cause! And of course, we celebrated with cake!
On 5th November, we were so happy to be able to grant the wish of a local care home Inglewood Nursing Home. This TV will allow residents to continue to take part in church services, see loved ones and participate in group zoom sessions. It might not fix things but we really hope it makes current times a bit easier and a bit more fun!
On 13th November, we were so thrilled to be able to support Defiant sports with a delivery of items for their new sensory room! We purchased lots of items such as bubble lamps, fidget toys, various seating, activities and games for them & we look forward to popping back to see them all being used in the new year! Thank you Loretta for showing us round!
