Stewarts Law announces Rainbow Trust as their Charity of the Year for 2026

Each year, Stewarts Law lawyers and staff nominate charities for Stewarts to support and following a firmwide vote, Rainbow Trust was selected as their Charity of the Year for 2026.

To launch the charity partnership with the Rainbow Trust the Stewarts Foundation has made an initial donation to help Rainbow Trust continue its important work supporting families who are caring for a child with a serious illness and Stewarts Law employees took part in a 40km Challenge throughout January in celebration of Rainbow Trust’s 40th anniversary. This charity initiative was met with huge enthusiasm, with 80 colleagues taking part. This meant that in the first month of the charity partnership, Stewarts Law have already raised enough to pay for a Rainbow Trust Family Support Worker to support up to 25 families at any one time for over a year.

Rainbow Trust’s CEO recently spoke at their London office about the work undertaken by the charity and the meaningful impact Stewarts’ charity support will have.

Stuart Dench, Managing Partner at Stewarts, comments:

“Rainbow Trust’s work is crucial. The pressures facing families whose child is living with a life threatening or terminal illness are immense and the current economic climate is making those challenges even harder to navigate.

“At Stewarts, we are committed to supporting Rainbow Trust as it continues to provide the specialist care that families affected by serious illness rely on. We have already marked the charity’s 40th anniversary, with 80 colleagues taking part in a 40km Challenge and I look forward to our continued fundraising efforts throughout the year.”

Katherine Burgess, Corporate and Community Fundraising Manager at Rainbow Trust said:

“Rainbow Trust relies on support from businesses who operate in the communities we work in, and we are so grateful to Stewarts for choosing to support us and for the very generous donation.

We are impressed with the genuine enthusiasm from employees at Stewarts who are already making a difference. We had a great time meeting the team at an internal launch event earlier this month!

Most importantly I am really looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together to help ensure families with a seriously ill child can continue to receive the crucial support they so desperately need. Thank you, Stewarts!”
