The Rainbow Children’s Trust, based in Christchurch, was originally established in 1998 to support Paediatric Services for Christchurch Hospital in the South Island of New Zealand. We recognised that creating a child-friendly environment with parents and close family nearby helps in the treatment and recovery of young patients.

The Trust is delighted to have committed $1.2m in funding to enhance the Children’s playground and associated facilities in the new hospital development.  Including the provision of a children’s playground and beds for parents in all children’s rooms.

At Rainbow Children’s Trust we believe all children should have access to the best possible healthcare. Our kids deserve nothing less.
