Emotional Support for Parents of severely ill or disabled children

We’ve been there, we know the impact and we’re here to help.

“I was so lost in the grief and trauma, I didn’t have a clue how to cope with it all.
After having a few counselling sessions through Harry’s Pals, it was like a mask was lifted and now I’m able to enjoy spending time with my family again.

I am forever grateful!”

What We Do

When my son Harry was born, we received the life-shattering news that he had suffered significant brain damage. I waited for emotional support to help us cope, but none came. That experience inspired me to create Harry’s Pals,  to make sure no parent feels as lost and unsupported as we did.

We’re passionate about helping families find emotional support and coping mechanisms after a diagnosis of a life-limiting illness or disability, so they can feel stronger and better equipped to move forward.
