The Rainbow Centre

General information

Families come to us not only because someone has died from an illness but also as a result of fatal accidents, suicide or murder. We offer art and music therapy to children, as these non-verbal therapies are a valuable means of expressing emotions when words simply can’t be found, counselling to older children and adults, and massage therapy to keep a carer healthy so they have the strength to continue to look after their loved ones. We also provide group work to enable people to know they are not alone and share those experiences with others in similar circumstances. Each therapy session lasts for 50 minutes, and the children or their parents / carers come at the same time each week so they build up a relationship and trust with our therapists. All the therapy we provide is free of charge and we support families for as long as they need our help. Each therapy session costs The Rainbow Centre £30 and we rely entirely on voluntary donations for our existence.
