Penhaligon's Friends

Penhaligon’s Friends is a Cornish charity supporting bereaved children, young people, parents, and carers throughout the county. We offer children and young people the chance to meet others and share their experiences, as well as practical resources to help children cope with their grief. We offer a range of support services including advice and resources, telephone support, family visits, groups, school visits, one to one support, and social events.

We also deliver an extensive programme of training and advice for other childcare professionals and those interested in becoming a volunteer. We aim to help the wider community to find appropriate ways of responding to bereaved children’s needs.
