Garsons Esher’s 2026 COTY: Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity



 

We are delighted to announce that Garsons Esher has selected Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity as our Charity of the Year for 2026.

 

For 40 years, Rainbow Trust has stood alongside families facing the unimaginable - caring for a terminally ill child. In the darkest and most uncertain moments of their lives, Rainbow Trust continues to be a lifeline, offering not just practical help but deep emotional support that wraps around the entire family.

 

From hospital visits and school runs to sitting in silence or simply providing space for grief, Rainbow Trust is there to support families in their homes and in hospitals.

 

Rainbow Trust works alongside NHS teams to ensure families receive holistic support at home, in hospital, and within their local communities. This can include accompanying families to hospital appointments, supporting siblings who may feel overlooked, or providing bereavement support when it is needed most.

 

Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity South East Team, based in Leatherhead, Surrey, supports families in Surrey, London and Sussex, and is one of nine of their key location teams across the country.

As a charity that relies heavily on fundraising and community partnerships, Garsons deeply appreciates your support in helping us help them to raise vital funds so Rainbow Trust can continue to provide bespoke support for families who have a child with a serious illness, for as long as a family needs.

 

Throughout 2026/27, the Garsons Esher team, customers, and partners will come together to raise funds and awareness through a variety of events, campaigns, and in-store initiatives. From seasonal fundraising activities to community challenges, we look forward to making a meaningful difference together.

 

We are proud to support an organisation that makes such a profound impact on local families, ensuring no one faces serious childhood illness alone. Garsons look forward to sharing updates on our fundraising journey throughout the year.
