CHILDREN treated at Oxford Children’s Hospital will appear in a music video set to kick off a worldwide fundraising campaign.

To launch Giving Tuesday – a global event which aims to encourage people to donate to charity – on December 2, the video features children from around the world singing You Paint The Rainbow.

The song was written by Carolyn Mayling, a founder of Rosie’s Rainbow Fund, who went into charity work after her 11-year-old daughter died from Vasculitis in the John Radcliffe Hospital in 2003.

The charity gives music therapy sessions at the hospital and at some Oxfordshire schools, as well as bereavement support for families and therapy for long-stay or terminally ill child patients.

On November 30 it will put on a matinee performance to launch the Giving Tuesday campaign, called “Paint a Rainbow Live!’’ at Henley Town Hall, featuring youngsters from the children’s hospital, as well as pupils from two schools in Henley. The event runs from 2pm to 4pm.
