Our Mission

We are delighted to announce the launch of ‘Rosie’s Rainbow Pantry’.

The charity was set up as a legacy to Rosie Abbott.

Rosie endured far more than anyone should have to go through and her fortitude in the face of cruel adversity was truly inspirational. Rosie put her illness aside and spearheaded multiple fundraising campaigns.

“It makes me happy to help others”
Rosie Abbott

Rosie achieved so much in her short life. Rosie lived until her body wouldn’t allow it anymore. Rosie, beautiful, inspirational, and courageous fell asleep forever, aged just 15.

We would like to continue with Rosie’s legacy to help others.

The main aim of the charity is to provide food and provisions for families whose children are receiving end of life care in their own homes, in a hospice or in a hospital.
