Providing emotional support to parents of severely ill or disabled children

We've been there, we get it and we're here to help...

“My name is Hayley and my son Harry is severely disabled. We weren’t expecting anything to be the matter with Harry but then three days after he was born we were given the life shattering news that he had suffered significant brain damage.

I waited to be offered some sort of emotional support but to my surprise there was no support offered. This had a huge impact on our ability to cope so I decided something needs to change.

At Harry’s Pals we offer emotional support to parents who have recently had a diagnosis that their son or daughter is severely ill or disabled so parents can find coping mechanisms and a happier and healthier way forwards for the whole family.” – Hayley Charlesworth – Founder, Harry’s Pals

What We Do

At Harry’s Pals we are passionate about getting emotional support out to families who are struggling with their mental health following a recent diagnosis of a life limiting illness or disability.

We are here to help families find coping mechanisms so that they feel a bit better equipped and stronger to move forwards in such challenging circumstances. We are also keen advocates for carers and disabled people and campaign for change so that better support is offered to families affected by disability.
