Amelia’s Rainbow supports children in Dorset with serious and complex chronic conditions, life-limiting conditions and children receiving palliative care.

We create an environment full of fun, learning, achievement and memories. We provide gifts for activities and play which will enrich the lives of children. Our panel will consider funding a Rainbow Gift that will have a real impact on the child's well-being. We will consider family days out, games or toys, social activities e.g. swimming or dancing lessons or any other request which meets our terms of business. We work closely with both Poole and Dorchester Hospitals to ensure that children in their care are able to access gifts when needed. Most referrals come through the lead health professionals although families are also able to self refer. We are able to support children thanks to the fundraising and donations from wonderful businesses, individuals and trusts. We are a community charity that allows people to help those in need.
