What people are saying about Rainbow Place;

I like being able to come into Rainbow Place and just be me - not worrying about sitting with a group of people that have no idea what we may or may not be going through. I look forward to coming and chatting to other mum's who just get it. The supportive staff are great. They are often with us in hard times, or they solve a problem for us - they're a part of our story and our extended family.Louise, February 2019
I love knowing I can leave my child for respite and don't need to worry about the standard of care. The care extends way beyond the respite facility. Jess and the Zoe's, the carers, and the volunteers are amazing and love our kids as much as we do!!Angela Sandford, January 2019
Rainbow Place were involved with the care of our daughter for her entire life, starting at just 10 days old. We could not be more grateful for the advice, support and assistance they gave us over this time. Because of Rainbow Place we were able to keep our daughter at home for the majority of her life - something that was of utmost importance of us. Having her at home meant we could make memories and focus on being a family, and the nursing support we received over this time meant we felt comfortable and confident being outside of hospital - with all the backup we needed. Our daughter particularly loved the music therapist, and it was very special for us to see her able to be involved in something that was of interest to her. Our Rainbow Place team, and the other Rainbow Place families we met, have become like family to us, and they all helped to make our daughter's life as wonderful as it was.Chris & Kirsten, April 2018
Rainbow place was such an incredible help with my children when my husband was dying. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. I know the staff are not the same now as when we used them 9 years ago, as they had not long been open then, but I am positive they will be just as sensitive, caring, professional, respectful, and incredible.Nicki Fraser, February 2018
Well I don’t wish needing Rainbow Place on anyone, but I’m so utterly grateful that they are there for me and my wee family. It’s the most incredible place and the most beautiful people. They are there for families like mine at the hardest time of our lives.
Thank you Rainbow Place. Thank you for helping me in all the ways you do - for giving us respite, connecting us with other families who understand, for being there when this Mumma is scared and worried, and for the reassurance you give me so I know when our sad time comes we will surrounded with love support and people who will guide us, support us and care wholeheartedly for us.
Thank you - it means the world to me.
