It was so lovely to see Rosie and Pete Simpson today while they are back home in the area visiting. We owe them a huge thank you for their ongoing support of Rainbow Hub! For many years now, they have helped us with our Christmas Tree Collection 🎄and today they surprised us by bringing a kind donation, a raffle prize, and even chocolate oranges and hand-knitted Christmas covers to help us raise vital funds. We are so grateful for their friendship and support 🙌
A 'small world moment' happened (while in Turkey!) when their good friends Janet and Halil, saw the Christmas covers, heard the story of why Rosie was busy knitting and realised the connection - that their son, Baris, was a former Rainbow Hub service user!
They shared how Rainbow Hub had helped him as a child, teaching simple techniques that made a real difference in his life 💫
Rosie has proudly shared with us today "Baris has completed his university course and is a bright young mathematician with a wicked sense of humour - all thanks to the early support he received from Rainbow Hub!" 🤩
Stories like this remind us why our work is not just amazing—it can be life-changing ❤🌈
