Rainbow Services is a dynamic and well-regarded charity based in Harlow, Essex. Established in 1999, our work aims to alleviate the effects of disadvantage, deprivation and social exclusion within our local community and the surrounding area. We operate in and around Harlow delivering a range of innovative services. Our services are targeted at where there is no existing provision or where disadvantaged people are poorly served. Where possible we leverage the benefits of partnership and community development to create activities that are accessible and affordable.   All of our work is underpinned by our values of equality of opportunity, participation and cooperation and this supports our stated objects to improve the quality of life for local groups and individuals. Rainbow Services measures its impact using qualitative as well as quantitative information. Using feedback from service users, benchmarking and value for money indicators we continuously measure the social impact of our activities.
