Our Founders’ Story

In 1998, our founders (a foster parent power couple!) sought out to provide better outcomes for children. Whilst working in social care and being foster parents themselves, they wanted to improve the quality and support provided to children and foster carers.

Together, they began Rainbow, paving the way for outstanding support for children in care.

At Rainbow, we look after children and young people based on their needs. We safeguard all children from all different backgrounds.

From the beginning of being placed with us, young people make exceptional progress in many aspects of their lives.

Our children

Diversity and Inclusion

Rainbow is a celebration of our diverse community, representing the children and families we serve.

Our people come from different racial origins, religions, backgrounds and cultures. Among our staff, we speak more than 12 languages.

Supporting local charities

Giving back to the community is a key part of the work we do at Rainbow.

For example, we provided food parcels to MyYard, a charity focused on alleviating food poverty.

We also take part in community events which include painting and gardening, partnerning with local organisations.

“A big thank you to Rainbow for all your support this year. It will mean so much to the local community here at Grange Farm” - Rachel Diamond, My Yard

“Choosing to foster with Rainbow has been the best decision of our lives. We’re helping a beautiful girl reach her potential with the best support available.”

- Rohan & Priya
