Little Houghton Day Nursery brought the community together for a vibrant day of fundraising, raising £165 in support of Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity as part of The Old Station Nursery Group’s nationwide initiative.
With bright colours and joyful energy at the heart of the day, the nursery hosted a celebration of rainbow-themed activities, including dressing up in rainbow colours and face painting for the children. Each element of the event was designed to inspire creativity, togetherness, and a shared sense of purpose.
These activities brought families, children, and staff together, all while raising funds for Rainbow Trust, which provides emotional and practical support to families who are caring for a seriously ill child.
“We wanted to create a day that was fun and memorable for the children while supporting a cause that really matters,” said Nicole Lawrence, Nursery Manager at Little Houghton Day Nursery. “The excitement from the children and the generosity from families and staff made it incredibly special. We’re proud to be part of something that helps make a real difference to families who need support the most.”
Little Houghton Day Nursery’s contribution forms part of a collective fundraising total of £8,319 raised across The Old Station Nursery Group in July in support of Rainbow Trust.
The fundraising month reflects the group’s ongoing commitment to building strong communities, both within and beyond nursery walls, and supporting meaningful causes that reflect their ethos of community, connection, and contribution.
Rainbow Trust’s mission to support families through the most difficult of times is one that deeply resonates with the ethos of The Old Station Nursery Group, and this month’s efforts stand as a testament to the difference that can be made when communities come together.
