Charity Fundraising Aid – “The Rainbow Tree”


Following the first lockdown in the pandemic, we began seeing a multitude of reports stating that charities were in crisis. These charities, who so heavily rely on fundraising, were no longer able to hold their charity events and as such this plummeted their charity income. We saw these terrible headlines and wanted to do our bit to help. After brainstorming, one of our first ideas was this Rainbow Tree sculpture that we created to assist with raising much needed funds for charity.

On 23 March 2020, the nation entered it’s first Coronavirus lockdown, throwing the whole country into uncertainty and worry. Everyone was ordered to stay home, and businesses closed their doors without knowing when the world would be normal again.

Charities in Crisis

Following this first lockdown, we began seeing a multitude of reports stating that charities were in crisis. These charities, who so heavily rely on fundraising, were no longer able to hold their charity events and as such this plummeted their charity income. Overnight, the cake sales, the fun runs and the raffles had to stop. The causes were still there, and funds were desperately needed, but the money coming in from fundraising had dramatically declined.

Rainbow Tree Concept

Bringing Positivi-tree to the Charities

We saw these terrible headlines and wanted to do our bit to help. After brainstorming, one of our first ideas was this Rainbow Tree sculpture that we created to assist with raising much needed funds for charity. This concept was created with the idea that people would buy the wonderfully colourful leaves on the tree, and the money raised from these purchases would then be given to the charities in need. Although the leaves are no longer for sale, the demand showed us how truly important this cause is, and the Rainbow tree has been the catalyst for further sculptures to assist many different charities.

When we were contacted by the NHS to create some concept drawings for the Princess Royal Hospital in Shropshire, we created the concept of the Rainbow Tree. This 16ft tall tree is filled with around 200 leaves, all painted in the colours of the rainbow. The trunk is substantial and features a bark effect along with an Owl’s nest. Depicting the strength of the NHS in protecting the public throughout the pandemic as well as the rainbow aspect depicting the hope of the nation, it also highlights the need for everyone to play their part in protecting our environment.

The Rainbow Tree has now been completed and we think that it looks fantastic. We hope that it brings a lot of joy to all who visit the Princess Royal Hospital.
