We work closely with the National University Hospital, KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital and the neonatal ward of the Singapore General Hospital.
They provide 5 main core that is to provide emotional, informational, educational, social and financial support to our beneficiaries – the children and their families

Each year our social workers conduct about 150 home visits and more than 1,000 counselling sessions
Club Rainbow has Institution of Public Character (IPC) status. All monetary donations qualify for double tax exemption benefits
Let we talk more about their history
1991 – Started when they organised a special camp for children with various chronic and life-threatening illnesses. Unique feature – attention paid to the health and well-being of each little camper. Each child was paired with an adult Befriender throughout the duration of this residential camp.
1992 – Club Rainbow was born
It now helps more than 450 families and offers a vibrant array of free services including personalised counselling, group sharing sessions, social activities, tuition and financial assistance when necessary.
January 2007 – Club Rainbow established its first purpose-built facility the Rainbow Family Care Centre.
Serves as the focal point of our many services and activities. It has two other branches located in the KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital and in the National University Hospital.
From what i see they quite popular among the hospital in Singapore. Somehow they need volunteer to help in the organisation as to organise and to be part of the family too.
