Our Courses
Rainbow Valley has developed unique courses
Our unique courses are delivered face-to-face via our 2 day residential 7 Steps to Health course or our 1 Day courses. We empower families and friends to take a holistic approach to living with and overcoming cancer. We address the psychological, spiritual, emotional and physical needs of each individual and their support network using innovative & established therapies incorporating nutrition, exercise & relaxation which complement hospital treatments.
7 Steps to Health Day CoursesOur Fundraising Events
Like all charities, Rainbow Valley relies on Donations and Fundraising activities to continue running our bespoke courses to educate and empower people affected by cancer.
We endeavour to tailor our events to enable everyone to join in, have fun and learn more about our work.
With only 2 employees the Charity is grateful to have a fabulous, dedicated board of Trustees and Ambassadors who work voluntarily to help fundraise and raise the profile of Rainbow Valley.

Who We Are
Rainbow Valley is an idea inspired by the vision of Johanna MacVicar, a young woman who, in 1994, aged 16 years, was diagnosed with leukaemia. Like most people when first diagnosed, Johanna felt very out of control of her life, and the difference Rainbow Valley would have made to her, her family and friends would have been immense. She knew she had choices but gathering research, identifying options and seeking out the genuine people, therapies and support is a daunting task when you are so ill and desperate.
The goal of Rainbow Valley is outlined below:
Purpose
Educating people to take control of their cancer diagnosis by accessing new ways to thrive and survive. Ensuring everyone affected by cancer can access information on how to nurture themselves by embracing a holistic approach to their health.
Mission
To empower people affected by cancer to nourish their mind body & soul and take responsibility for their health.
Vision
That every person affected by cancer is given the tools for integrated physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
How You Can Help
Every donation makes a difference.
We have two ways in which you can donate directly to Rainbow Valley. You can make a one off donation by clicking our Direct Donation button and choosing the amount you wish to donate or if you would like to make regular donations to Rainbow Valley then click our Regular Giving button.
Regular donations are extremely important to the charity and help make a really big difference to those living with cancer. By choosing to give a regular gift it allows us to plan for the future because we know, day in day out, that we will have a steady income stream that we can rely upon. Your commitment to helping us will allow us to give hope to these people on an on-going basis.
Our Long term Objective is to build a dedicated Centre, away form the hospital environment where those living with or affected by cancer will go to explore the plethora of treatment that are available in support of hospital care. While we pursue our quest to build Rainbow Valley, we will continue to run our free to attend residential courses in the healing surroundings of Ardoch House on Loch Lomond.
