Charity
At Rainbow Trust Children's Charity we provide emotional and practical support for families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. With the help of the families who share their inspirational stories about the difference Rainbow Trust has made to their lives, we have been able to raise our profile and tell more people about the valuable work that we do. From the humble beginnings of two staff and a kitchen table to work from in 1986, Rainbow is now a national charity. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of staff and volunteers, Rainbow continues to grow year on year and makes progress towards achieving its vision that one day all terminally ill children and their families will have access to a Rainbow carer.

PPG and partners climb Snowdon 31st May 2012
On 31st May 2012 PPG Industries will be climbing Mount Snowdon as part of the ‘I Love Claims Great BIG Charity Challenge' to raise money for The Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity.
12 members of the PPG team will be participating in the hike up the 3,560ft Mount Snowdon alongside members from ADR, Alton Cars, IRIS, Fleetline, and Sopp & Sopp. PPG will also be joined by Kelly Dalwood of Bodyshop Magazine and Brent Guiblin of I Love Claims.
The PPG Sales and Marketing members tackling Snowdon are: Danni Aiken, Gethyn Davies, Richard Denison, Martin Laugharne, Ian Maynard, John McGowan, Jodie Mullard, Alan Selby, Andy Smith, Dave Smith, Maxine Timlett and Paul Tranter.
Members of the team will be dressed as Rainbow characters Zippy, Bungle and George and in all the colours of the rainbow to raise awareness of the Rainbow Trust Charity who provide emotional and practical support to families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. Rainbow relies almost entirely on voluntary donations to support the families of ill children.
Danni Aiken PPG UK & Ireland Marketing Communications Manager adds “Everyone that makes a donation will be playing a part in supporting the tremendous efforts of Rainbow Trust Charity and allowing Rainbow to continue supporting the brave families of ill children through treatment and beyond for many years to come”
Offline fundraisers: RSA, Pedro Perez PPG, Tim Mason PPG and Provident Insurers, PPG Industries
