STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 30th July 1996 as amended by special resolution dated 14th March 1998, 24th February 2010 and 7th October 2011 and registered as a charity on 4th October 1996. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Recruitment of trustees is by advertising by existing Trustees, members of the National Management Committee and the wider Rainbows family and from those with strategic expertise and experience.

Induction and training of new trustees

All Trustees receive an induction programme which consists of meetings with the Chair of Trustees, the National Director and staff at the National Resource Centre covering:-

Risk management

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces and a formal risk register has been established. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors and systems are in place to ensure that relevant checks have been carried out on any persons working with children

Organisational structure

The Board of Trustees manages the business of the Company and where necessary delegate their powers to committees for specific tasks to be carried out. The Board of Trustees meets regularly to oversee the work of the Management Committee and Finance Committee who also meet regularly with specific members responsible for training, finance, fundraising and resources. There are a growing number of local geographical support groups responsible to and supported by the National Director.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025

Connected Parties

The Company is a connected party of Rainbows USA which has similar objectives to the Company.

The Resource Centre of Rainbows Bereavement Support GB supplies sites with a range of materials in Great Britain.

Objectives and Activities

The primary aim of Rainbows Bereavement Support GB is to offer support for children, young people and adults who have experienced bereavement and loss. We provide training based on current research and government recommendations to enable schools to provide structured, developmentally appropriate peer support interventions for children and young people.

Our aim is to support the emotional health, resilience and well-being of young people who have experienced significant loss and other Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and to enable schools to create “safe spaces” and to provide Psychological First Aid.

Psychological First Aid principles are characterised by creating a space where people can.

We review our aims and objectives each year to ensure we remain focused on our stated purpose. Our review takes note of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and our relevance in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We agree a Strategic Development Plan on a three-year cycle and set ourselves annual targets.

We carry out our aims by providing materials and training to schools and other institutions who seek to work explicitly and in a structured way with children and young people who are experiencing bereavement and loss.

Our policies are regularly reviewed and now accessible on our website. https://rainbowsgb.org/

Founded in 1992, Rainbows Bereavement Support GB has provided training to over1,500 schools in England, Scotland, and Wales. We have worked in partnership with officers from a local authority in a specific project to establish Rainbows training in their schools.

Our vision is quite simply for every child and young person in every school in Great Britain, grieving a significant and often devastating loss in their lives, to be understood and supported appropriately.

Rainbows Offers

High quality training in bereavement and loss based on current research and current official guidelines relating to bereavement and loss and the role of schools in supporting young people’s mental health.

Practical, realistic and sensitive guidance for schools to review or develop their own bereavement policy.

Specific training for facilitators and coordinators of the Rainbows developmentally programmes.

On-going contact and support for all registered schools

Annual CPD for all Registered Directors (RDs)

Rainbows programmes provide an emotionally safe space for children, young people and adults to guide them through a significant loss in their lives by implementing a structured, developmentally appropriate peer support programme facilitated by trained staff. The participants meet in small groups for twelve to fourteen weekly sessions where they are supported to express and share their feelings.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025

Research and Evaluation about the positive impact of Rainbows

A professional and independent study across 93 schools in 2011, found strong evidence that Rainbows makes a tremendous difference to children and young people who are grieving a significant loss. Participants were found to benefit by having a trained, trusted adult who facilitates peer group work in a safe, community setting.

A unique feature of the Rainbows programme is that the participants are supported by specifically trained members of their own community / school. This offers the possibility of on-going support after the programme has finished and demonstrates the school’s continued support and commitment to those who have experienced a significant loss in their lives.

Our internal evaluations and feedback from children and young people, families and schools in 2019 indicate we are having a very positive impact. 91% of young people of all ages who have participated in the Rainbows told us it was helpful.

Parents and carers consistently spoke of the positive impact, and all said they would recommend the programme to other families. School staff reported that significant progress was made in the development of personal skills such as self-esteem, confidence, empathy, communication skills, social interaction and anger management. Staff also reported - an increase in young peoples’ academic performance and classroom participation. https://rainbowsgb.org/research documents/

Volunteers

The Company is partially dependent on the use of volunteers to assist in providing the training to schools. The training of these volunteers is provided by Rainbows GB.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The work of Rainbows Bereavement Support GB continues to be consolidated in schools that have facilitated the programmes for many years; feedback from children, young people, their parents and carers, and staff in schools is always extremely positive.

Many schools have reported very significant negative impacts relating to funding issues, with the need in some cases for staff redundancies. The financial costs of delivering our programme in terms of staffing costs have meant that several schools have reported difficulties in covering the costs for two members of their staff to deliver the programme. Schools have continued to state that they see clear benefits in running the Rainbows programmes but sometimes struggle to cover the delivery costs in terms of staffing.

In response to this we have reviewed our advice to schools given during initial training. We still recommend that two members of staff deliver the programmes where possible and would continue to see this as best practice. However, we also recognise the increased levels of professional expertise in schools and now support schools who are able to provide a single member of staff to deliver the programmes. Some additional training and emphasis is given regarding the support which may be required for these staff

Despite these difficulties we have trained 38 new schools and have had a focus on reaching out to existing schools to offer retraining. This is especially relevant in schools where there has been staff movement and new appointments. We have retrained 37 schools this year and view this as a positive development in the sustaining of the Rainbows programmes in schools across Great Britain. We have increased our retraining uptake by 100%, from 19 to 37 schools retrained.

The Charity is grateful to all those committed individuals at national, regional and local levels who do so much to assist the development of Rainbows Bereavement Support GB and therefore assist children and young people grieving a significant and often devastating loss in their lives.

Opportunities

Despite the significant challenges we face we are confident we can continue to provide schools with high quality training and resources at the lowest possible cost.

We will continue the peer support programmes we have provided for over thirty years.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025

We will also offer a New Wellbeing Programme which has been trialled extensively and has been extremely well received.

Trustees are also committed to identifying further opportunities to maximise the Charity’s income through regular donations, sponsored activities, successful grant applications and broadening the roll out of the Rainbows Programmes beyond the normal school day.

Achievements

The trustees approved a Three-Year Strategic Development Plan (2024-2027) covering five discrete areas for the further consolidation and development of our work:

Copies of the Strategic Development Plan for 2024 - 2027 may be obtained from our National Director ,Sharon Melia Craven at sharon.rainbowsgb@btconnect.com

We have launched our new Logo. This has been achieved through a process of consultation with young people and the involvement of a professional development team.

We have appointed a new Regional Development worker for the North West.

We have updated our training materials.

For many years we have been supported in the delivery of our training into schools by a partnership with The Catholic Children’s Society, Westminster. Sadly this has now ceased. We are extremely grateful to the Catholic Children’s Society for their support in promoting our work over many years. We are now providing support into this region through our National Director and members of the management committee.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Transactions and Financial Position

The surplus for the year was £260 (2024 – deficit £3,808). The charity benefited significantly from a “one-off” donation from the Diocese of Middlesbrough of £21,304.

All regional bank accounts have closed, leading to a saving in bank charges, and a more efficient management of the charity’s funds.

The trustees continue to review the current financial situation of the charity.

The Charity’s funds have been successfully applied to provide support and assistance to young people and adults who have lost a close relative or loved one through death, divorce or other adverse circumstance.

Reserves

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets or stock of publications (which are both integral and not easily realisable), to a level which equates to 9 months’ unrestricted expenditure in order to provide sufficient cashflow for the charity’s operations, and its contractual obligations to employees, etc.

RAINBOWS BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GB

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025

Principal funding sources

The principal funding sources for the charity are from the sale of materials; training fees received from schools and other institutions; donations from the Institute of Our Lady of Mercy and individuals through a variety of fundraising activities and by monthly standing orders.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Trustees continue to rigorously evaluate and monitor all operational activities within the charity to ensure the most effective and efficient organisational practice, thereby ensuring the most positive outcomes.

Supporting the work of the charity in the regions and thereby in the 1,500+ schools trained and registered, is always an extremely important dimension of our annual planning, especially in newly developed regions.

Training in bereavement and loss for new members of staff and in particular for those new to leadership roles in registered schools is essential and is offered regularly. On-going effective communication is crucial.

All plans and targets relate directly to the five sections in our new Three-Year Strategic Development Plan. (September 2024 – August 2027)
