Charity Objectives and Structure

Organisational Structure

The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The trustees meet together approximately every two months and are responsible for all policy decisions and for the employment of the Charity’s CEO; they take an active interest in the recruitment of other staff. Policies are reviewed regularly and, where necessary, are brought up to date when new legislation comes into being or in order to further the aims of the Charity. The charity is governed by its constitution dated 04/05/2020.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees but in doing so, the trustees seek the recommendations of staff and volunteers and the wider community of Cornwall. In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify people who can bring their expertise, contacts, and knowledge to the Board for the benefit of the aims of the Charity.

In addition to the trustees, representatives from other bodies having connections with child bereavement are invited to join the Board and attend meetings without voting rights as the need arises.

Following appointment, new trustees are introduced to their role and given copies of the CIO Constitution and a guide to Penhaligon’s Friends’ policies and procedures adopted by the Board. A number of publications from the Charity Commission are also provided including the guidance on charities and public benefit. This ensures that new trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act.

Risk Management

The trustees have examined the major strategic risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to minimise or mitigate these. The trustees will continue to review potential risks on a regular basis and will take further action to minimise or mitigate these risks as required.

Our Objectives

Our objectives are to provide support for bereaved children and their families in Cornwall and to provide training and education for other agencies working closely with these children to provide them with the tools they need to help them support children in the community. Each year our trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

Vision

Changing bereaved children’s lives.

Mission

To provide a supportive and educational environment where grieving children can share their experiences as they move through their healing process. To support family care givers, schools, professionals, and the wider community in responding to the needs of bereaved children and young people. To provide training in childhood loss and grief for family care givers, schools, professionals, and the wider community in Cornwall.

We will fulfil our mission by:

Data Protection

There is a rigorous code of practice with regards to data protection and confidentiality. All records are confidential and are kept securely. This code of practice is reviewed regularly to ensure we are up to date with current legislation, including registration with the appropriate authority.

Use of Volunteers

Volunteers are an important resource in the work of the Charity. Volunteers are involved in the majority of our activities, and we have around 55 people regularly giving their time to support our activity.

DBS for Trustees and Volunteers

In recruiting trustees and volunteers, Penhaligon’s Friends ensures that it meets all the requirements of Cornwall’s Safeguarding Board in relation to safe practice, including appropriate use of the DBS.

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

How Our Activities Deliver Public Benefit

Many of our activities delivered throughout the year are of direct benefit to the public. Our charity supports bereaved children and young people up to the age of 18 years. We also help parents, carers, and professionals to give effective support, which includes thinking about support around terminal illness in the family. The person who died may have been ill for a while or died unexpectedly. We use a variety of practical and creative tools to help children and families share their thoughts and feelings and give them the opportunity to meet others. We are aware of the impact that bereavement can have on the normal development of children and young people and aim to offer services to reduce this and increase resilience.

Our activities recognise how children experience grief. We therefore include time to have fun and for creative activities, as well as time to focus and work through more painful issues. We support the whole family using a child-focused approach.

The amount of time spent with the children and their families is obviously much less than others who have day to day contact with them, such as schools, doctors, social workers and so on. For that reason, we also offer training to professionals having contact with young people so that they can understand better the concerns and needs of bereaved children and young people.

Our range of services includes:

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

Training

Level 1 Childhood Loss & Grief – A 3-day course in the theory of Childhood Loss & Grief.

Level 2 Childhood Loss & Grief – A 4-day course in therapeutic skills and practical applications of theory.

One Day Workshops – Bespoke training for groups to develop skills, confidence and increase resources when caring for bereaved children.

Volunteer Training Programme – Our free one-day ‘Get Started’ Volunteer Training is a great introduction, giving an overview of our charity with an insight into volunteering roles and options for getting involved whether it be to fundraise and support community events or to help with our Family Services work. Once completed, this one-day training then gives the option to continue to a free two-day ‘Get Going’ Training which enables volunteers to help with family support, such as helping with Memory Days, Family Groups and Teens Groups. Volunteers can also access the Level 1 & 2 Childhood Loss and Grief training (above) as desired.

Chairman’s Report

Last year, our long-standing Chair of the Board, Dr Jenny Doble, retired from her position, after providing invaluable support to Julie and the team. We thank her for her considerable support and commitment to the charity over the years.

The past year has seen many changes for the Penhaligon’s Friends Team. Since Covid-19, they have continued to work hard to meet increasing demand by way of returning to pre-Covid face to face activities. We fully acknowledge that in a small team, any staff losses are keenly felt, and we appreciate the manner in which the team continues to demonstrate resilience, creativity and innovative approaches in the face of such staff changes, recovery from the pandemic and a record number of referrals.

The team has juggled new working hours and seen changes to the team as staff have progressed to other roles within the charity, allowing for recruitment of a Receptionist/Administrator and an additional Family Services team member. Staff changes at the end of the year have resulted in a gap in Fundraising although we hope to fill this post in the near future. Throughout these challenges, Julie has guided the team to adapt to new ways of working in response to need as necessary. Polly has embraced the role of Family Services Lead and works closely with Julie to lead the team. Great efforts have been undertaken by the team, to welcome volunteers back into the workforce and engage in training and recruitment of new volunteers. It is recognised that the loss of volunteers since Covid poses something of an ongoing challenge, as we rely so heavily on this invaluable pool of dedicated workers to roll out our work.

Fundraising is an area of vulnerability within the charity, and Julie has worked tirelessly to secure grants to ensure longer-term and more substantial income. Donations are struggling by comparison with previous years, perhaps a legacy of Covid. Recruitment to fundraising is therefore a priority area of focus for the charity and Trustees, as the demand for bereavement support across the county is a pressing challenge. As a Board, we are keen to address the tension of ensuring our compassionate, skilled, and conscientious employees feel valued by way of competitive pay, within the constraints of our financial situation.

Over the past year we have welcomed two new trustees to the Board: David Perry and Anna Pemberton, bringing strengths in terms of business, networking, experience of family support work and safeguarding, respectively. Anna has returned to Penhaligon’s Friends in a new capacity having previously been employed by the charity as Family Services Lead.

A Trustee business planning meeting in February considered and amended the salaries of the team, relative to similar posts regionally. It was acknowledged that the team has always worked incredibly hard, meeting increased need, year on year, with the additional and residual challenges of the Covid pandemic.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank each of our dedicated team members, and the team as a whole, who demonstrate their commitment to supporting children, their families, and schools at the most difficult times of their lives when dealing with the loss of family, friends, and significant

others. We value and respect the work undertaken and strive to support the team and the charity as best we can. We look forward to the forthcoming year as we aim to boost our financial income and increase staffing to ensure we have a full workforce and are prepared to meet the increasing demand for bereavement support across the county, and with a view to further enhancing provision. Feedback from schools and families continues to evidence the need for the work provided by Penhaligon’s Friends, and the high quality of support provided.

Dr Alison Stephens, Chair Penhaligon’s Friends

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

CEO Report

Penhaligon’s Friends has been extremely busy this year with record numbers of referrals into our service, with 1124 children and young people accessing our support. With all of the team working from the office again it makes it easier to be able to respond and manage our caseload and activity, and there is definitely a strength in being under the same roof whilst we work together. Although it seems, officially, the pandemic is over, we recognise its lasting impact in the delayed grief we witness in some of the young people we work with, and the anxiety around engaging in group activities and support. Our support is needed now, more than ever, and our report demonstrates the varied and necessary services our charity provides for bereaved children and their families throughout Cornwall.

Staff

We welcomed Natalie Buckland to our staff team in June as an additional Family Services Support Worker. Natalie brings many years of experience from working in a pastoral role in schools and will be working with the team to manage our increasing referrals and the support provided. We also, on occasions, welcome Lola, Abi’s new dog, as she spends time supporting our team (and eating tasty snacks)!

Our Volunteer & Fundraising Coordinator, Ali Vigo, left the charity in March to return to working in schools. We were very sad to see her go, but she is still a volunteer, which often happens as our staff leave for other roles. The value of our work never leaves and volunteering, when able, allows people to stay connected. We are currently considering how we can best support our activity

11

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

within the team and what our next recruitment opportunity will be, looking at the needs and gaps for the current service. Everyone that walks through our office leaves their own footprint that contributes to our overall strength and values.

I am so grateful for the dedication, knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm of all of our staff team. Our office really is an inspiring place to work, and I thank everyone for their creativity, patience, and adaptability as we continue to adjust our service to meet the needs of our families and funders. Our reputation is built on our team values.

Volunteers

It has been so lovely this year to see so many of our volunteers coming back to face-to-face support, in the office, at our groups and events, and in schools and communities. Whilst our numbers of volunteers have dropped as people move on or enjoy retirement, we still have a strong number of talented, experienced, and dedicated volunteers in our team. A special mention to Lin Marsh who retired in September. Lin had been involved on so many levels and we were very grateful for all that she contributed, and the many children and young people she supported during her time here would, I’m sure, wish her well. New volunteer training is high on our agenda moving forward as we look to increase our team in line with demand.

I must also thank our Trustees for all their time and support, through our Business Planning and our Board meetings they help to shape and govern our work in a meaningful way. I am very grateful for their ongoing support and trust. Every hour of volunteering matters to our charity, our success and achievement would not be possible without the generosity of our whole team.

Grants and Donations

Funding from BBC Children in Need, the NHS and the Benefact Group’s Movement for Good programme have provided much needed core funding, with other grants coming in through Cornwall Community Foundation, Coop Local Community Fund, Carew Pole Charitable Trust and Postcode Local Trust. Many of these provide multi – year funding which provides us with longer term stability with planning and development.

BBC Children in Need selected one of our young people to take part in their ‘Surprise Squad’ on The One

Show in November. Max and his family have benefitted from our support over a number of years following the sudden death of his Mum when he was just 3 years old. Max was chosen to take part

12

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

in the BBC National Appeal, along with 4 other young people and together they took part in challenges to help other Children in Need funded projects by volunteering and making a difference. We were all humbled by the compassion Max was able to show to others and are very proud of him!

There has been some fantastic local fundraising taking place to support our work, and we really value the support of businesses who choose to support our work by making us their charity for the year. The added benefit of raising our profile through their organisation and community helps us to reach more families in need of our services.

Our blend of grants, fundraising, training income, donations and corporate support does strengthen our position, but we will need to work hard this year to source additional funds to sustain our service in line with demand. Grants that were available during the pandemic to support organisations manage the complex and unprecedented need in our community are no longer available and the cost-of-living situation reduces many people’s capacity to think outside of their own family’s needs.

We move into next year with some secure funding for existing work and have been able to secure additional funds enabling us to plan activities for some new initiatives. We also have several grant decisions pending, training courses planned and events to attend. I hope that you

find our report and activity an interesting read and gain an overview of our exceptional service. We are looking forward to working with you all over the coming year to enable us to continue delivering our vital service within Cornwall.

Julie Parker, CEO

Family Services Report

It has been a busy 12 months. As the numbers of children, young people, and families that we are supporting has continued to increase, we have also been able to continue to offer a flexible and responsive service to meet the individual needs of bereaved children and families providing a combination of in-person and at times virtual support depending on what is most accessible for them.

The Family Services Team has seen several changes. We said our goodbyes to Anna Pemberton in May and welcomed Natalie Buckland shortly after in July. Natalie joined Polly Langford, Family Services Lead, Jo Coombes, Jo Spear and Abi Deakin, Family Services Support Workers, and our dedicated team of volunteers. The team have a diverse range of skills, knowledge and experience including counselling, nursing, teaching, and youth work in addition to specialist knowledge in bereavement and working with children and young people.

There has been a 10% increase in the numbers of referrals, including re-referrals, since last year. Most referrals have been families self-referring, followed by schools and other professionals. The common themes identified in last year’s report have remained and we continue to see young people referred with indicators of traumatic or complicated grief.

1124 children and young people were supported by Penhaligon’s Friends in 2022/23.

We worked with 104 children and young people bereaved by suicide.

14

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

Support offered by Penhaligon’s Friends over the last 12 months:

Family Services Staff have continued to be available on the office phone number and via email Monday- Friday 9am - 5pm to answer any queries and provide families and professionals with general support and advice in a timely way.

What Services Penhaligon’s Friends Offer and Why

Families and professionals are encouraged to contact Penhaligon’s Friends at any stage following a child or young person’s bereavement if they would like some support or advice. It is never seen as too soon after a bereavement or too late. In these early days we provide practical and emotional support to the trusted adults (parent /carer or professional) in the children and young person’s life. This might include information, support, and advice around how to break the news, communicating and talking to them about death and dying, how someone has died, how they can be involved in funerals and other rituals, understanding children’s reactions and how to respond, how to support them to express their feelings and signposting the adults for services and support.

At Penhaligon’s Friends we understand that every bereaved child, young person and family’s experience and journey is unique. We aim to take time to really listen and notice what is going on for them so that we can work out together what might be helpful for each individual and family. This is informed by Penhaligon’s Friends 25+ years’ experience of supporting bereaved children

15

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

and families and what they have told us helps, as well as current practice research such as that summarised by David Trickey (Consultant Clinical Psychologist at the Anna Freud Centre and Codirector of the UK Trauma Council).

We can’t and don’t try to take away the pain of the loss, but we do aim to reduce and minimise the negative impact of bereavement and grief. We know this is essential, as in addition to the research on why some bereaved children and young people struggle to adjust to bereavement, there is also research and practice guidance which highlights their increased risk of suicide and vulnerability to other safeguarding issues and particularly for those bereaved by suicide. We are currently commissioned by the Cornwall CCG to deliver postvention support to children and young people bereaved by suicide.

Below is an explanation of what we provide and why, based on this information. First and foremost, we do this by supporting and strengthening the child or young person’s existing support network. This is to enable their support network to give the children and young people age and developmentally appropriate information about what has happened, to begin to make sense of it, and ask questions. They will give children and young people permission to express their emotions, normalise different emotions and reactions and create opportunities to say goodbye whilst also developing a continuing bond. Where appropriate, families are offered regular welfare calls providing ongoing bereavement support and advice for as long as they feel is needed.

16

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

We provide opportunities for families to be supported together, to strengthen relationships and communication about what has and is happening following a bereavement. We do this through family visits and family groups for primary school age children. Our memory days, family and teens groups are offered in recognition of the value for bereaved children, young people, and parents and carers to have the opportunity to meet others who may have had similar experiences. For those children and young people who are having difficulties with their grieving process, or if it has been complicated or compromised in some way, we also offer one-to-one bereavement focussed support, usually for up to 6-8 sessions.

Finally, we work closely with a wide range of other professionals and organisations at an individual and strategic level to develop services that work collaboratively to understand and meet the needs of bereaved children and young people and those with complex needs.

Information and Resources

373 Postal packs were sent to children and young people .

Postal packs include a selection of resources and information to support the young person in their grief such as: a young people’s leaflet on grief, ways of remembering the person who has died, ideas for managing difficult feelings and some items to support emotional regulation and provide comfort. The packs are well received and are often talked about in follow up telephone calls or visits.

Families referred to Penhaligon’s Friends are often sent a welcome pack with information regarding the charity, details about confidentiality and data protection as well as a booklet with details of a wide range of support services for children, young people and adults.

During our contact with families, we often send out additional resources and information depending on the need identified. The team are always updating and developing a range of different handouts for parents / carers and young people and sourcing new books on bereavement for different ages and stages.

We have also received further donations this year of matching pairs of fabric hearts from Children’s Hospital Pyjamas, which have been extremely well received, particularly when children are experiencing separation anxiety.

17

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

Support to Parents and Carers

725 families were supported by Penhaligon’s Friends this year.

Support to parents and carers will always include initial email, text and / or telephone contact depending on their preference. Follow up contact may be brief, or it might continue over a number of years. Parents and carers also know that they have the option of contacting the service again in the future if needed up until their child is 18.

Support to Schools and Education Settings

Schools and Education settings regularly contact the Family Services Team for advice and guidance around supporting bereaved children and young people in their community. We are always happy to offer suggestions, share resources and also sign post to other services where appropriate. We also liaise with schools regarding individual children and young people with the consent of their parent / carer to support the understanding of the impact of bereavement and the support the children and young people receive.

“I really wanted to say a big thank you for your compassionate approach to a really hard situation. Coming in to support the school –It was hugely reassuring to have you in the academy and your guidance really helped us all cope. You were so considerate of so many different needs of pupils and staff.”

12 Schools and Education settings were supported following a bereavement or critical incident. Staff and Students at 6 Schools were supported in person.

We continue to be contacted by schools and settings for support, advice and guidance following the death of a student, member of staff or parent which has impacted the wider community. We have worked closely with the setting’s senior leadership and pastoral teams, the Local Authority School Effectiveness Service Manager and Education Psychology service to ensure a co-ordinated response to the school and community. Often, this is support provided over the telephone, however, we have provided in-person support to staff and students at 6 schools over the last year following the sudden death of students. This involved our presence in the school setting for a half or full day and on 2 occasions for multiple days.

Training for Education staff has included:

18

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

areas, such as ‘Supporting a Child following a Sudden death/Suicide’. These sessions were well attended, and we received some positive feedback.

Our annual ‘Remember Me’ training event for schools and settings dealing with childhood loss, bereavement and critical incidents was well attended in May 2022.

We continue to remain part of a countywide Bereavement & Critical Incident Core group, made up of representatives from the Schools Effectiveness Service, Education Psychology, Education Safeguarding, Children’s Social Care, CAMHS, Early Help Hub, and other key services, meeting a minimum of termly. We have also supported the integration of this with the suicide surveillance group, focussing on suicide prevention and postvention.

We have continued to work alongside The Cove at Treliske, Shortlanesend Primary School and The Fruit Fly Collective (a national organization) to help develop cancer support boxes for children in school affected by cancer. These should be available for all schools in the Aspire Academy Trust in Cornwall to access from September 2023 and will contain resources for staff, children, and parents to use.

We also have a termly newsletter specifically for education settings providing up to date information and resources on support bereaved children and young people.

Family Visits

95 families received Family Visits in 2022/23.

We had a rapid rise in family visits from autumn 2022 – many of these have been undertaken in the office in Redruth as well as many taking place back in the family homes, as most of them had been prior to the pandemic. Family visits allow us to have the opportunity to touch base with all family members who have been impacted by the death, and to facilitate an environment where all family members have permission to talk about how things have been for them. It also gives a space to explore how they have been feeling, which can often be the first step to enabling

19

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

communication to start between family members again and open up conversations that help support each other with their grief.

Memory Days

2 Memory Days took place in 2022/23.

We had a well-attended Memory Day in July 2022, with 11 Families. The Memory Day in March 2023 had 5 families, and both received some positive feedback and felt like helpful days for both the adults and children who attended.

Families who attend often tell us that they are surprised at how much they felt able to share and that although it’s an emotionally demanding day there is also a lot of fun and the opportunity to make connections with others.

Our Memory Days wouldn’t be able to happen without our team of volunteers, both new and those who have been with Penhaligon’s Friends for many years. We are also grateful for the continuing use of Truro Prep School who, at a reduced cost, allow us to use their wonderful buildings and beautiful grounds, which provide the space and a safe, calm environment which is crucial for the day.

The next Memory Day is booked for July 2023 and going forwards we plan to continue to arrange 3 per year in Spring, Summer, and Winter.

One to One Work

82 children and young people received individual support and/ or assessments in 2022/23.

As with other aspects of our support we have also seen an increase in need for one-to-one bereavement focussed support for young people, particularly since January 2022. This has usually been when their bereavement or grief has been traumatic, complicated, or delayed in some way and it is felt that they may benefit from some support outside of their usual support network.

An individual assessment would always be undertaken first to determine the need and appropriateness of one-to-one bereavement focussed support. Young people need to feel safe and supported to be able to benefit from these sessions and sometimes we may suggest that other supports are put in place first or alongside the bereavement support. For example, if there are significant needs around their mental health, safety, or their family’s circumstances. We work closely with the parent / carer and professionals around the young person to ensure appropriate supports are identified. Where individual bereavement support sessions are agreed, the sessions are structured and bespoke to the individual needs of the young person, with the aim of helping them to process their grief and maintain a continuing bond with the person who has died. The sessions may include exploring difficult feelings associated with the bereavement, things they haven’t fully understood or have questions about or are worrying them, creating opportunities to remember or say goodbye, building and strengthening healthy coping strategies and a sense of hope for the future.

20

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

Once individual sessions begin, the one-to-one trained volunteers engage in a minimum of monthly group supervision via Zoom or face to face to support the work.

Family Group

Our new Family Group format started in September 2022 at Blackwater Village Hall. Since then, we have offered monthly one and a half hour sessions on Tuesday afternoons. To increase accessibility, we have invited families to attend sessions as and when they are able to, although most families have chosen to attend consecutively. The group has been very well received and well attended, with an average of fifteen people (children and adults) attending each month.

Our sessions have given children an opportunity to engage with therapeutic, grief-focused activities while meeting and connecting with other bereaved children. Our monthly themes and activities have covered: family trees; emotional first aid; grief at special times of year; hope and the future; managing feelings; and special memories. Children have enjoyed creating their own emotional first aid kits out of air-dry clay, which include reminders of what helps them to manage their feelings of grief, therefore promoting feelings of empowerment and resilience. They have also created ‘Looking Forward Binoculars’ which involved building binoculars out of kitchen roll tubes and coloured paper and decorating it with things they’re looking forward to. We discussed how important it is to still find joy and excitement in life, even when someone has died.

As the sessions have progressed, we have seen children and families building connections and relationships with one another. Some of the older children have swapped numbers and are connecting outside of group, and adults with younger children have been staying in touch and arranging play dates for the children and coffee dates for themselves. The adults have shared how

21

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

helpful it’s been to hear other people’s stories and to know their experiences of parenting through grief are similar to those of other families. Parents and carers have said the group has helped them to feel less alone and more confident with supporting their children with their grief.

We have also had fantastic volunteer support, with an average of four volunteers attending each month. This has been invaluable to the group and has allowed for more families to attend each session.

Our Blackwater Family group continues to thrive, and we are very happy to now be running a second group in Liskeard, therefore extending our offer of support to families further up the county.

Family Fun Days

We have offered a number of successful Family Fun Days this year, including days out at Lappa Valley Steam Railway and The Screech Owl Sanctuary, as well as a Nature Day with Choose Nature CIC and a trip to see the Rogue Theatre’s winter performance. We have been busy!

In the spring, eleven of our families came for a fun day out with us at Lappa Valley Steam Railway. Lappa Valley very kindly provided free entry to our families, which we were very grateful for. On the day, families were given a Penhaligon’s tote bag filled with chocolate eggs and a lunch voucher from us. Families were invited to explore the park and gather together at lunch time. Some families decided to explore together, and many of them could be seen riding trains and playing crazy golf together.

Next, in the summer holidays, twelve families joined us for a visit to The Screech Owl Sanctuary where children and grown-ups could learn about wildlife and get close to some amazing animals. We arranged a special ‘Meet the Wallabies’ experience for the children. We had a great time learning about the wallabies, giving them a stroke, and feeding them some tasty snacks. Many families sheltered from the rain at lunchtime and had an indoor picnic together.

22

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

In the October half term, ten of our families adventured into the woods for a Nature Day with Choose Nature CIC. Children and adults alike got to build dens; make campfires to cook tasty treats; do nature-themed arts and crafts and plant bulbs for the following spring. The day was spent in a secure and private area of woodland, so children from different families went off on adventures together while adults sat on straw bales in the poly tunnel drinking cups of tea and chatting. It was great to see families really mixing and connecting with each other and having fun in an environment which invited them to be brave, curious and have fun.

Finally, in December six families braved the rainy Cornish weather to join us in experiencing the Rogue Theatre’s ‘Winter Wonderland’ performance. We ventured through the woods in small groups, stopping along the way to watch fire performances, sing songs and listen to stories. When we arrived at the cosy tent, children gathered on the carpet in front of the stage and shared hot chocolates while watching the show.

Our Family Fun Days are an opportunity for families to meet, connect and have fun in a relaxed environment. Many of our families find these days really helpful as a first ‘steppingstone’ to accessing further support from us, such as Family Group or a Memory Day. The focus is not on bereavement or grief, but instead on having fun. It’s an opportunity for kids to be kids and for families to be given permission to have a good time.

Teens Groups

We have been offering two rolling programmes in person, one at the Revive Café in Camborne and one in The Chestnut Hub in Bodmin. These are run by Jo Spear and volunteers. The group in Camborne runs on the second Monday of each month (6.30-8pm) and the fourth Monday of each month in Bodmin (6.30-8pm). On average we have 5-6 people attending each group per month. Both groups have enjoyed activities such as memory jars, mask making, all about me boards, memory puzzles and bracelets and self-care kits. We have been exploring memories, ways to cope

23

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

with different feelings, managing anxiety and stress, self-care, coping with change, ways of finding resilience in oneself and building resilience for the future.

Teens Activity Days

It has been a great year for Penhaligon’s Friends teens activity days with a range of different events taking place and hopefully something for everyone. In April a group of 12 teens spent a fun packed day at BF Adventure which was a great way for the group to bond and get to know one another a little better. They braved the cold water and really challenged themselves in the quarry steering activity by jumping off the surrounding rocks in the quarry into the water. They each had a go flying down the zip line and worked as a team to navigate themselves around the low ropes course. Some of them even braved the water slide.

In May a group of 8 teens had a wonderful day out on the Falmouth Sail Training Ship ‘Hardiesse’. We spent the day out at sea and the young people took turns working as a team to set the sail, steer the ship and climb the rigging! Despite the rain the young people got stuck in and had a fantastic experience together.

In August we took a group of 14 young people to Stithians Lake for a day of kayaking and windsurfing and team building activities. Some of the young people were initially nervous to start with but really excelled once they got on the water. Some great team building took place whilst the young people were creating their own rafts in groups. They had to work together to hold the barrels together and tie the knots. It was a great opportunity for the young people to connect with one another. The whole team had great fun seeing if their craft would make it over the water.

In October a small group of 4 teens took part in tackling the Via Ferrata high ropes course at BF Adventure. The group started off having a practice run in the Adventure Quarry and braved balancing across the high ropes bridge. They later went on to challenge themselves on the higher course where it was lovely to see them all encouraging each other along the way with some of the young people surprising themselves on how well they had climbed. A huge achievement for them all.

In December the teens groups decided together that they would like to go roller

skating for their Christmas Party. As it was a glow deluxe roller party, the group of 8 had lots of fun painting each other’s faces with the UV paint provided and donned their UV accessories. The young people helped each other out on the rink for those that were not so confident and some

great roller-skating skills were demonstrated by a few of the younger members. Great fun was had by all.

Looking to the future we have a workshop booked in May half term with Baker Tom’s Bakery. When gaining feedback from the teen’s groups, one of the activities they wanted to do was some cooking/baking. A group of 10 young people will try their hand at making Focaccia bread among other delights. Tom will be present to guide and teach them along the way.

We have booked a residential stay with the Children’s Sailing Trust at Trevassack Lake in Helston in September. The young people will be

staying over for two nights in the lodges and will be taking part in various activities such as sailing,

25

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

problem solving activities, SUP boarding, raft building and more. This will give the young people an amazing opportunity to try something new and challenging, to make connections with others and to build confidence and resilience for the future and most of all, to have some fun!

Training and links with other professionals

The Family Services Team work closely with a wide range of other professionals and agencies providing information and advice around the needs of bereaved children and young people and also referring on to other services as appropriate. We make sure we have current information regarding other organisations and services available to support children and families including those in the voluntary sector. For example, we regularly refer families to Early Help for additional support and share information regarding crisis services and Young People Cornwall’s drop-in Support Hubs for children and young people struggling with their emotional wellbeing, whilst continuing to support them as well.

We continue to develop our strategic links and are trying to establish regular risk management meetings with CAMHS and other emotional wellbeing providers. We met with Young People Cornwall and the CAMHS access team manager to begin this and hope to establish stronger connections with Early Help family support services. These relationships will help facilitate smoother transitions between services and a shared understanding of the needs of bereaved families.

We have a close working relationship and meet bimonthly with Outlook Southwest Suicide Liaison Service for adults and Public Health ensuring a coordinated response to support for those bereaved by suicide.

We continue to form part of the following strategic groups:

We attend monthly National Bereavement Alliance (NBA) network meetings, the Southwest Children’s Bereavement Network, and Cornwall Bereavement Network to share practice and resources.

Training and webinars provided to other agencies and forums has included:

Fundraising & Donations Report

This year has seen a gradual but very welcome return to fundraising and events following the lockdowns of the previous two years. Groups, clubs, and schools have been busy, and it’s been great for the charity to once again give talks at groups and have a presence at fairs, assemblies, concerts, carnivals, auctions and other events across the county.

We were delighted to be chosen as Charity of the Year for many organisations, including Lanner Football Club, King Harry Ferry, Grampound Carnival, Cornwall Masonic Bowling Association, Lappa Valley, and Coop Henver Rd, Newquay . As well as donating £1,250, Lappa Valley very kindly hosted 36 people from our Family Group for a day out in April where they enjoyed train rides, pedalos, trampolines, soft play, and ice creams! Huge thanks to everyone at Lappa Valley for hosting this.

This year we’ve been supported by some incredibly sporty children and young people! 5- year-old Leo Merrikin completed a triathlon which consisted of a 50-metre swim followed by a 4-mile bike ride finishing with a 1-mile run. He raised an amazing £1,155 in memory of his sister, Iris. William, James, and Eleanor Viqueira walked up Rough Tor with their parents and raised a wonderful £754 in memory of their grandpa.

The brilliant Samantha and Theresa raised £481 running the Edinburgh Marathon. Louise Little ran an epic 100km in the South Coast Challenge raising £685. The inspiring Helen Powell raised £6,250 in her Channel Swim fundraising appeal. Huge thanks go to everyone who’s set up event fundraising pages for us this year.

Various organisations have supported the charity in other ways this year, donating their time, vouchers, resources, and goodies to the charity. Cornish Heating

Company serviced the office boiler, while Morrisons donated to Penhaligon’s Friends from their Christmas Toy Appeal. Dignity Funerals , Redruth Rugby Club Slimming World and Carn Brea Leisure Centre all donated Easter Eggs, which were very gratefully received by the children and young people who attend our regular groups. A local Volkswagen Club, Dubs of Vanarchy, donated £650 in Amazon vouchers along with selection boxes and craft materials. Sarah and Ronnie from Kate’s Fund donated lots of resources for our grief postal packs, in memory of their daughter Kate. Hayley Thomas , a local Usborne Representative, ran a campaign which enabled her to donate 100 copies of ‘Why do Things Die?’ – a brilliant lift the flap book that explains bereavement to very young children, we send this book to lots of the families that we support.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the local businesses who have supported us this year. Roddas and Lush donated gifts for our amazing volunteers who have helped at Memory Days throughout the year. Impact Fluid Solutions , Boutique Retreats , CVC Solicitors , Moose Toys and Seasalt were among the many local business who all made donations during the year, these donations are vital to

29

Penhaligon’s Friends Annual Report 2022/2023

allow us to keep providing support for children and young people across the county.

In December we ran our Annual Christmas Auction and were so lucky to receive some fabulous items from local businesses including hotel stays, restaurant vouchers, spa treatments, art, days out, luxury hampers, and much more! We were delighted that our Christmas Auction was once again a great success and raised an amazing £2916. This fantastic amount will fund one of our Family Groups for a whole year. Huge thanks to all of the local business who generously donated prizes, and to our amazing supporters for bidding on the auction. We couldn't do it without you.

We are always overwhelmed by the length and breadth of your support, particularly in such difficult times. From the knitters to the kid’s football clubs, the churches to the craft groups, the schools to the singers, we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

We hope that everyone who has fundraised or donated knows how very grateful we are, it really does mean everything to us. You can find a full list of donors at the end of the report, I hope we haven’t overlooked anyone. Thank you.

Treasurer’s Report

Whilst Penhaligon’s Friends managed to weather the COVID years reasonably well, incurring only relatively small deficits - £4,202 in 2021/22 and £6,501 the previous year, the legacy of COVID and the recent cost-of-living crisis resulted in a deficit of £25,224 at the year-end.

Income fell from £240,547 in 2021/22 to £213,745 in the current year.

Grant income fell by £25,251 from £149,406 to £124,155 in the current year. This was largely due to specific government COVID support grants being phased out. Funding from BBC Children in Need, Movement for Good and the NHS continue to provide much needed core funding and the bulk of grant income with several smaller funding bodies providing the rest.

Donations too were down on the previous year, £79,881 compared with £84,781 in 2021/22, and remain substantially lower than pre-pandemic levels.

The charity ran a series of training courses during the year with income from courses totalling £8,325 being received compared to £6,028 in the previous year.

The inflationary pressures in the economy resulted in an increase in interest rates with interest of £1,075 being received compared with £191 the previous year.

Income sources remain a mix of donations, grants and earned income. General Fund balances now total £125,523 equating to approximately 27 weeks of operational costs, which is slightly lower than outlined in our Reserves Policy, which recommends an ideal range of 60 -70% of our annual costs. Whilst there is no cause for concern, the charity is looking to strengthen its fundraising as part of a staff restructuring to ensure that it can continue to meet its objectives.

The charity holds no significant fixed assets.

There were no Trade Debtors at the year-end.

I would like to thank all the many funders, volunteers, and contributors for the support you have given Penhaligon’s Friends over the year. Your support really does make a difference to the number of families we are able to help and the quality of services we are able to provide.

I would also like to thank Darren Perry from Francis Clark LLP for providing the Independent Examination pro bono.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Penhaligon’s Friends (the CIO) for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of the independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Thanks to Supporters

We really appreciate all of the donations we have received in the 2022/2023 year. It is impossible to thank everyone individually for their contributions, but without the help of our incredible supporters we would not be able to provide this valuable service.

Thank you.
