Shoppers in Melton will be rewarded for Rainbows donations

Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People is encouraging people to give to its shop, in Sherrard Street, by giving something back to the customer. Anyone making stock donations of five items or more, until the end of February, will receive ten per cent off all their purchases made during the same visit.

Donations made to the shop are vital in providing income for Rainbows, which cares for children and young people with terminal and life-limiting illnesses from across the East Midlands, including those from Melton.

Donating clothes worth £10 could help to fund two days’ worth of oxygen for a child, £25 could help fund the cost of one week’s play materials and clothes worth £50 could go towards one day of care for a child or young person.

Karen Bilsby, head of retail at Rainbows, said: “We are grateful for every item of stock we receive so this is our way of giving something back to everyone that gives something to Rainbows.”
