Penhaligon's Friends
Penhaligon’s Friends is the children’s bereavement charity for Cornwall and operates across the entire county. Last year we helped over 800 bereaved children come to terms with the death of a family member or close friend. We also support children and their families when facing a terminal diagnosis.
Our work is carried out in a combination of different ways; telephone support and advice, books and resources, regular memory days and other gatherings for families, monthly teenage support groups in 4 locations across the county, family groups, school and individual support.
In addition to our children’s and family services we provide high-quality training in child bereavement to an ever-widening range of professionals and volunteers. Penhaligon’s Friends has over 70 volunteers across the county and was proud to have won the Queens Award for Voluntary Service in 2010, the MBE for Charity Groups.
All our children’s and family services are provided free-of-charge and are on-going for as long as they are needed in each individual case.
We rely entirely upon grants and donations to ensure our charity is able to support those families that need us most!
