🌈 Rainbow Run 2026 Raises a record breaking £110,000 for CHSW – And Happy Days Was Proud to Be Part of It! 🌟
On Saturday, community spirit took centre stage at Rainbow Run 2026, held at RAF St Mawgan and we were thrilled to once again take part in this unforgettable day in support of Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).
Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools proudly sponsored the Yellow Paint Station for the eighth year running, helping bring sunshine (in paint form!) to the course. This vibrant, high-energy event saw hundreds of participants run, walk, skip, and dance their way through a rainbow of paint to raise funds for a truly incredible cause.
This year’s Rainbow Run raised an absolutely phenomenal £110,000! Even more amazing, over its 12 year history, the event has now raised over £1,000,000 for this wonderful charity. We are incredibly proud to play our part in supporting such an important cause.
But our involvement didn’t stop with the paint-throwing! We also had 10 runners from the amazing team at Happy Days Treloweth and ran the Happy Days stand in the event village, offering £1 rainbow face paints to help boost the day’s fundraising even further. It was a brilliant way to connect with families, spread cheer and add even more colour to the atmosphere before the run began.
Once the event was underway, the Happy Days team headed to our Yellow Paint Station, where we had a blast covering runners in a cloud of sunshine yellow. It wasn’t just about raising money, it was a joyful, bonding experience for our support centre team, who threw paint and laughed together.
“It’s always such a special day,” said Alice Avery, Digital Marketing Executive at Happy Days. “We were honoured to sponsor the Yellow Station again and bring extra colour and energy to the course. The team had such a fun time, and seeing the total fundraising figure just makes it even more meaningful.”
A massive congratulations to the CHSW team for organising yet another great event, to the fellow sponsors who helped make the day possible, and to every runner, donor and volunteer who played a part in making Rainbow Run 2026 such a huge success.
We’re proud to continue supporting CHSW through events like this and throughout the year and we can’t wait for next time!
