The new centre, The Legacy, so far plans to offer the children a wide range of experiences to help them develop, including music, drama, art, horse- riding, animal care and horticulture. Rainbow House has been selected as one of Manchester United’s 6 chosen charities following applications from dozens of charities across the UK and a rigorous tendering process. In total two national and 4 North West charities were selected. The partnership will provide Rainbow House with a number of major fundraising opportunities offered by the football club and an opportunity to raise its profile with fans and businesses supporting the club. ## Advertisement Rainbow House is also supported by Moto motorway services, Irwin Mitchell and Pannone. New sponsors and partners are actively being sought to help the charity reach its target.
