About Caroline's Rainbow Foundation |
|
  Caroline's Rainbow Foundation is a registered charity in the UK which sets out to raise the awareness of the importance of personal safety amongst young travellers, gap year students and backpackers by recognising and prioritising life’s values.
We work alongside the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, the Education sector, the Foreign office and other organisations to share this message. Together we offer direction and information to support young travellers.
Marjorie Marks-Stuttle, her son Richard Stuttle, and husband David Marks established Caroline's Rainbow Foundation after the tragic death of her daughter Caroline Stuttle in 2002 in Bundaberg, Australia whilst backpacking in her gap year.
Our message is aimed at young travellers. The charity's interactive film "Time of Your Life" encourages young people to learn some basic safety awareness - the do's and don'ts whilst travelling.
Caroline's brother Richard after struggling to come to terms with his sisters tragic death and the subsequent trial in Australia, which he attended, is now finding some peace with his art. View some of his work. His valuable contribution to the charity is talking to young students about travelling, cultures and safety issues.

Marjorie visits Australia |
|
Six years after Caroline was murdered in Bundaberg, Marjorie felt strong enough to visit the site of her tragic death. Helped and supported by her husband David, Megan Hunt from the Foreign Office, Kay MacDuff Mayor of Bundaberg at the time and local police involved in the hunt for Caroline's killer she was able to lay flowers at the memorial. Marjorie said she could imagine what had gone through Caroline's mind as she fell. She also felt she was seeing Australia through Caroline's eyes and knew why Caroline had loved her time there.
