We are now taking bookings for our Level 1 and 2 Childhood Loss and Grief Training courses this autumn.
These courses are suitable for any professionals who might come into contact with bereaved children in the course of their work, volunteers and those wanting to gain an understanding of how best to support bereaved children. You can find out more details on the course flyers below. Please see our training page for details of how to book.

Mother’s Day is on 27th March this year in the UK and is a special day for honouring and appreciating mothers. It is also a personal day, and means different things for each of us.
Children who have sadly lost their mum may want to take time to make or write something for their mum and in her memory. They may want to write a message for her or use words or a picture that reminds them of their mum. They could choose to leave it in a special place or give it to someone else to look after.
Due to the pandemic we haven’t held our ‘Remember Me’ Schools training since 2019. We will be running it on Friday 20th May 2022 at the beautiful Headland Hotel and would like to invite representatives from schools across Cornwall to join us.
To book please email us or call the office on 01209 215889.
We were recently invited to a presentation evening held by Launceston YFC, where they made a donation of £1000.00 to the charity. They had kindly chosen Penhaligon’s Friends as one of their charities for 2021, and this fantastic amount was raised during their year of fundraising.
We are pleased to announce that our annual ’12 Day of Christmas Auction’ is now live! We think it is our best yet, with some fantastic gifts, art and days out up for grabs. Why not snap up some Christmas pressies, while supporting bereaved children and young people across Cornwall.
Penhaligon’s Friends has now moved from Registered Charity No. 1053968 to Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1189323. The aims and mission of the charity remain unchanged, and Penhaligon’s Friends will continue to provide valuable support to bereaved children and young people across Cornwall in the same ways.

We are delighted to be able to share the Impact Report we have created for the 2020/2021 year.
