The Legacy Rainbow House in Lancashire is aiming to raise £1m with the appeal, which was opened yesterday (1 April) at the charity's eighth birthday celebrations. It also wants to recruit 50,000 supporters who will donate as little as £1 per month to help it reach its target within a year.
The current economic climate, an increase in the number of children attending the centre and the need for more staff to support children with complex needs have all contributed to the charity's account deficit of £16,000.
Legacy Rainbow House receives no Government funding and relies on donations, fundraisers, sponsorships, corporate partnerships, grants and fees.
