We’d love if your business would take part in the Penhaligon’s Friends Teddy Bears’ Picnic!
As I’m sure you can imagine, 2020 was a difficult year for Penhaligon’s Friends. The usual army of enthusiastic volunteers who organise bake sales, concerts and fairs were unable to fundraise, yet the need for child bereavement support in Cornwall was still very apparent. We have continued to provide support to families and schools across the county throughout the pandemic by thinking creatively and adapting the way we work.
Now – we need your help! By holding a Teddy Bears’ Picnic, dress down day, coffee morning or bake sale at your business or workplace you can help us to continue providing vital support in your local community. It’s easy, just follow the 5 steps below.
We have lots of other resources available for businesses on our website here.
