Rainbow Hub is a charity that provides children and young people with physical disabilities because of neurological conditions or brain injuries with life-changing rehabilitation services. Their vision is to brighten the lives of disabled children, and they work with as many as 100 families every week from their purpose-built site in the Lancashire countryside.
This week-long project has revitalised the garden area, making it more accessible, engaging and enjoyable for the children that Rainbow Hub supports.
CEO at Rainbow Hub, Lyndsay Fahey said: "We are all delighted that WellChild has chosen Rainbow Hub for one of their community projects and are so grateful to them and British Gas.
"The area was largely inaccessible for wheelchairs and this project has changed that and created a space where our children can enjoy outdoors and the benefits of nature. They will be able to feel different textures beneath them and enjoy planting and watching flowers grow.
"They will also be able to learn about the creatures that the developed area will attract. Our indoor facilities have been developed to meet the specific needs of the children we support, and it is great to be able to offer an outdoor space as well that can be enjoyed by the children and families all year round.
"We cannot thank WellChild and British Gas enough."
