Manager Seonaidh Baker visited this much needed service that provides support for families of pre-school children who have additional support needs and/or disabilities.
The Trades Widows Fund Charity donated to help pay for rent for extra days at their base within the old Esslemont school near Ellon.
People travel from all over Aberdeenshire to allow their children to participate in playing and learning with dedicated workers who understand their additional needs.
There is also an equipment library where parents can borrow certain items to see if it suits their child’s requirements before investing in one themselves which can be very costly.
Speaking to one of the parents she referred to the service as "lifeline". Parents can also have a break in a separate room to catch up with one another, have a cup of tea or get any further advice from support workers.
Rainbow Rouges are a registered charity and rely on donations and grants to run sessions. There is absolutely no cost to families to attend.
