Hi there, welcome to our site.  Please note that over the next few days we are going through a transitional period as we re-organise our site and get the new site put on.  While this is happening, there may be a few bits that are moving around - please bear with us as we complete this task - we are sure the end result will be easier for you to use!  Thanks!

I hope that through reading and sharing our site with us you will learn a little about our very beautiful , special, magnetic, happy, and loving little girl Rosie.
We feel that Rosie lives on and guides us still in so many ways through the work of our fund, and that the love and compassion she had for all children will be reflected in the work we carry out in Rosie's memory. I hope that whoever you are, that you will be moved, enlightened and touched by the essence of who Rosie was and continues to be.

Why a Rainbow?

Rosie loved to wear coloured stripes . She was well known for her stripey tights.  You will see her in her well-known stripey tights on our fund logo which was designed by Rosie's best friend, twelve year old Emma.

On the day of Rosie's funeral we held a celebration of her life at our Novello Theatre. As the celebration ended, a huge double rainbow appeared immediately above our theatre.
Since that day, countless Rainbows have appeared at poignant moments. The name of the fund was chosen without any question . It was just right.....Rosie and Rainbows just work together.

"Because Rosie is always near a Rainbow" is a phrased coined by Rosie's sister Ellie when she composed a song called "Rainbow's Light" . We feel that Rosie is ..... always near a rainbow.

Enjoy our site.

The show goes on.

When the stage is dark and no ones there
and there's only the lonely and black despair
You forgotten your lines and you can't go on
And your lost for words and your hope has gone,
When you cant see out and there's no way through
And you've given up on miracles 'cause they aren't true,
When there seems no words will make a song
The rainbow appears and the show goes on.

A sky without a rainbow doesn't mean that it is gone,
Its just waiting for the moment, cue the lights and start the song.
Like a singer with a microphone thats broke beyond repair,
Be quiet and you'll hear her, for her singing is still there.

Like the colours of the footlights that shine upon the scene,
A rainbow pool of purple red and yellow blue and green,
You can stand there in the spotlight you can feel that this is true,
An amazing coloured dreamcoat you can wear your whole life through.

Then it turn to rags and you start to cry,
And the rainbows gone and you don't know why,
And you can't find the reason or remember the rhyme,
And you feel like you can't take one more time,
When you can't see out and there's no way through,
And you've given up on miracles 'cause they aren't true,
When it seems no words will make a song,
The rainbow appears and the show goes on.

And on and on and on.
