All Money Raised Supports the new Pear Tree Centre in Halesworth supporting individuals and families of people with life changing illnesses.

It opened in January 2020 following an extensive fundraising drive which attracted fantastic support from the local community. Anyone with a life-changing condition, as well as their families and carers, is welcome to drop in and use the services on offer, which include:

• information and support to help understand diagnosis
• counselling
• financial and benefits advice
• bereavement support
• children and family support services
• headscarf tying and “feel good” support
• complementary treatments such as Reiki, massage and reflexology
• signposting to other agencies

The centre is open to anyone living in north east Suffolk and south Norfolk. It serves around 50,000 people living in the rural towns and villages around Bungay, Beccles, Kessingland, Southwold, Leiston, Saxmundham, Framlingham, Stradbroke, Fressingfield and Harleston.
