Rainbow Recreation Centre is proud to offer "Showers of Kindness", a new pay it forward initiative, inspired by and funded by fellow patrons and community members. Warm showers can be a simple way to provide comfort and dignity, especially for those in need. It's not just about hygiene- it can offer a moment of relaxation and rejuvenation, making a real difference in someone's day. We've created an account at Rainbow Recreation, where people can donate as little or as much as they would like. If anyone would like to access a free shower, all they need to do is ask at reception and we will grant them a pass during permitted shower times- please see the schedule.
