A restorative stay at our centre in Penrith was the perfect halfway house for Jane and Charlie McAllister to reconnect as a couple, following Jane's cancer diagnosis and treatment. Firefighter and photojournalist Dan Homewood is on a mission to document daily life in the fire and rescue service, and the impact it can have on mental health. When Colin and Sadie Morris needed funding for a high-tech helmet to improve the life of their newborn son, Fire Fighters Charity stepped in to help. The charity supported Val Rowinski with the funding she needed to purchase a life-changing wheelchair. Here's her story. A much needed family break was welcomed by the Cunnea family from Hampshire when they attended the Child and Family Programme at Harcombe House in March 2016.
Jane: “We reconnected as a couple, rather than a couple living with cancer”
Dan: “I’d gotten used to living in anxiety every day”
The Morris Family: “You’ve taken a lot of the pressure off our family”
Val: “I am in awe of the help I have been given”
The Cunneas: “You’ve given us a safe little community here”
