Rainbow Living is run by a group of Directors, some of whom are parents and relatives of young adults with learning and other disabilities. Our Directors come from a variety of backgrounds and bring a wide range of experience; they work alongside a team of loyal volunteers, and together contribute their skills, time and energies to fundraising and to running Rainbow Living.
