This can be a mix of occupiers; some may wish to keep to an immediate family group and others may bring grand-parents or friends. There is no form required for bereaved parents, however an authorised referral is needed such as an email from a GP or a support charity. The bereavement lodge is open from March through to and including Christmas. Applications are ongoing with no date criteria.

This charity offers local support contacts who are there if you would just like to talk, in person, by phone or by email.

These fun, relaxing and supportive family days are aimed at children with a brain tumour, their siblings and parents. The days give families the opportunity to spend time together away from a medical or home setting, meet others experiencing similar difficulties, share stories, and enjoy a day out without the concerns of organising or worries of financial restrictions.
