Throughout July, Sandhills Day Nursery Boston proudly joined nurseries across The Old Station Nursery Group in a group-wide fundraising initiative to support its charity partner Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity - raising an impressive £164 through a series of fun, family-focused activities.
The nursery hosted a lively rainbow-themed sports day, where children took part in playful challenges while dressed in vibrant colours. Families enjoyed a bake sale and took part in a “Guess the Name of the Monkey” competition – with the winning name revealed as “Rainbow”. Throughout the day, the children also enjoyed a range of rainbow-themed activities, designed to inspire creativity, movement, and joy.
These events offered families, staff, and children a chance to connect while raising vital funds for a charity that provides emotional and practical support to families caring for a seriously ill child.
“Our rainbow sports day was such a hit with the children,” said Jodie Keal, Nursery Manager at Sandhills Day Nursery Boston. “Everyone got involved with such positivity – from baking delicious treats to joining in the games. It was a wonderful way to come together and raise money for a cause that means so much.”
Sandhills Day Nursery Boston’s fundraising contributed to a collective group total of £8,319 raised across The Old Station Nursery Group during 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.
