True Colours is a Charitable Trust and is entirely reliant on donations, sponsors and community trust grants for its ongoing sustainability. It is through the generosity of the community that we have been able to see over 615 families in the five and a half years we have been operating. (Our grateful thanks to our recent sponsors - listed here)

True Colours has been fortunate to receive a number of funding grants to equip a play therapy area, art area and sandtray therapy area. However, we need to ensure the children and families we support continue to have the best resources available when working through their illness, grief and bereavement.

Music therapy is an important part of our work with children. Good quality instruments and sound equipment are essential when working with neurologically challenged children. We endeavour to use every aspect of sensory stimulation in order to access children's emotional expression.
-
Home visits are an important part of making sure children and families are supported in the best possible environment. The cost of travel and vehicle maintenance is ongoing.
-
Our professional team are in demand to present to conferences and workshops nationally and the cost of traveling and accommodation is a constant challenge to fund.
-
Ongoing professional development is essential in maintaining best practice and the quality of care required when working with children and families. Training workshops and continuing education in the fields of counselling, psychotherapy, palliative care and advanced nursing practice are all expensive components of our budget.
