Harry's Pals

Mental Health Care

Providing emotional support to parents of severely ill or disabled children

About us

Harry's Pals provide emotional support to parents who have in the past four years received a diagnosis that their son or daughter has a life threatening disability or illness. Drawing on Harry's family's experience of the lack of support available following such a heart breaking diagnosis Harry's Pals was set up to bridge this very damaging gap in support. Harry's Pals offer free counselling and therapy working with practitioners across the country that are best allocated to meet the needs of the parents. Providing mums and dads with the opportunity to get help with and to understand the many emotions and feelings they are presented with to move forwards and be able to cope with what the future holds. Harry's Pals also offer 3-4 night respite breaks for families to have some much needed time out at a location best suited to them around the country. This provides families with the opportunity to recharge and reconnect and above all make special memories together.

    Please do let me know if you could help Harry’s Pals Charity by donating something that would make a great auction prize. Do you have a service that we could auction? A piece of art? An experience (do you have a holiday home we could auction for a few nights) do you know anyone that could help us with any sporting memorabilia? We would really love to hear from you. All money that we raise from the auction will go straight back into supporting more families with counselling and therapy sessions following a devastating diagnosis about their child. Thanks so much!! #charity #northantscharity #disability #carers #auction

    We were so pleased to be able to offer Joanne and her family a break away last week. The family needed a bit of peace and tranquillity after a really frightening and difficult three years and we are so pleased to have been able to help with support from Becky Kipling House Barn Joanne said: “Isaac has been in and out of hospital over the past three years with end stage liver disease. He received a transplant in the middle of June. As a parent I have found it difficult to spend quality time with all my children so this break allowed us to do that. The fact that the short break was completely funded meant that we could spend quality time together. I really can't thank you enough for this short holiday. I had a lovely relaxing time with Isaac and Hattie his twin sister. The place was amazing. Location was really good. Beautiful and peaceful, lots of places to visit within an hours drive.” Thank you to everyone who supports Harry’s Pals.. our services really do make a difference to families going through heartbreaking times! https://lnkd.in/exnhTaYn

We have some fantastic packages for those who feel able to support for every budget.

Thank you Also, if there are any organisations that would like to buy a table at our ball then please let us know. It really is going to be a cracking night… perhaps it’s a reward for staff’s hard work, or maybe an early Christmas party 🎉 #daventry #northants #sponsorship #charity #corporatesupport #CSR #greatpr #givingback #community

    Last weekend Colin and his daughter Aimee (4) who has very significant needs, were able to go away for some much needed time at the seaside. Thank you to everyone who supports Harry’s Pals allowing for families like Colin’s to have a much needed break away.

    ❤️💚💙 Harry's Pals ❤️💚💙 We have had some new followers recently so I just thought I’d say a big hello, welcome and thank you for liking our page. I also thought I’d do a quick intro to anyone who wanted to quickly find out a bit more about our wonderful little charity. I’m Hayley founder of Harry’s Pals and my son Harry is the little inspiration behind the cause. A cause that we soon realised was desperately needed when we received Harry’s diagnosis of catastrophic brain damage when he was just a few days old. When we was told this heartbreaking news nine years ago l was really astounded and impacted by the lack of emotional support available to us as parents . We was just told to go home and get on with things; it was a harrowing and frightening time and there was no where to turn for support. No charites could offer us any professional emotional support and privately funding was just not an option given we was now down a wage to care. Over the years I’ve witnessed and learned of the consequences that this lack of provision is having on families who like me really need help with their mental health… at a time which is so emotionally, physically and practically hard. We offer two main services that really make a difference to families like mine. We provide families with free counselling and therapy which is bespoke to meet their needs. We also offer 2-4 night breaks, allowing for families to have the opportunity to make special memories together and get some much needed time out. If you are a mum or dad who has been wondering whether to get in touch then stop thinking about it and please do. Taking care of your mental health is not a luxury it’s a necessity for you and your family. To find out more about the services we offer please go to www.harryspals.org. To check to see if you meet our criteria for support and to apply please go to https://lnkd.in/expsHc4Z Please share this post with your friends - you never know who you might end up helping. #parentcarer #send #disability #mentalhealth #neonatal

    Last week Shane and his family enjoyed a short break away through Harry’s Pals, we absolutely loved reading this feedback, thank you Shane. “This short break was the first time our whole family got to go somewhere all together. Because of Millie’s health conditions we are so restricted as to what we can do and where we can go. Especially when it comes to financially covering a break like this.” “The memories that we created will last a lifetime so it was absolutely life changing”. “It would never have happened without all the help and support given to us. From the moment we found out it had been booked we had a wave of happiness and excitement at the thought of actually getting a trip away”. “And the short break didn’t disappoint. It all went really well from start to finish. It was just perfect. It might be all over but we still sit here scrolling through the photos and smiling at all the amazing memories and we will do for a very long time. So from each and everyone of our family we just want to say a huge thank you.”
