During the evening, Rainbow House launched its new DVD which captured what staff and volunteers do and the benefits to those who take part in the conductive education programme and their families.
The DVD was made by Sam Budd with music by permission of Francis Rockcliffe. The event was supported by C2V+ and Ward and Burke.
Darren Hynes, operations director of C2V+ said: “As a growing business, it is important we take the time to support charitable organisations and help the community.

“I visited Rainbow House earlier this year and there was a young girl walking towards me independently for the first time. As a father, I was so emotional and moved at the really good work this charity delivers on a daily basis to those in need.
“Partnering Rainbow House means we can give back to the community and get all our sites involved in fund-raising to provide much needed support to a fantastic organisation.
“So far we have supported the Rainbow Ramble, taken part in Total Warrior, worked on the grounds at the charity, along with supporting the Las Vegas Ball with one of our partners, Ward and Burke, and look forward to continuing our relationship.”
