A charity of hope & healing

Our Mission

Our mission is to create ‘rainbows’ of hope through raising vital funds and awareness for causes that touch our hearts. With a focus on fundraising for Great Ormond Street Hospital (a world-leading children’s hospitals in London) and Grief Encounter (a charity dedicated to helping bereaved children, young people and their families find hope and healing after the death of someone close), we aim to bring light even in life’s darkest moments and offer support where it’s needed most.

Riya’s story

Riya was a vibrant and radiant 9-year-old girl whose presence brightened every space she entered. With her warm smile and sparkling eyes, she effortlessly spread joy to everyone around her. Her energy was magnetic, and she carried herself with a grace beyond her years, captivating those fortunate enough to know her.
