Valentine’s and finance workshop for families affected by terminal illness

Gunners Kids CIC, a Cornwall-based non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting families with children when a parent or caregiver is facing a terminal illness, has announced its upcoming Valentine’s & Finance Workshop, a free and supportive event designed especially for families navigating incredibly challenging circumstances.

This unique workshop offers families the opportunity to come together in a warm, understanding environment, combining practical support (mortgages, insurance, wills and power of attorney) and creative Valentine’s gift-making. Families are invited to attend for one activity or both, because love doesn’t stop when life gets complicated.

The event takes place on Sunday 8th February from 11am to 1pm, Alexander Hall, St Blazey (next to co-op).

The workshop is open to families affected by the terminal illness of a parent or caregiver, welcoming children, parents, carers, and support networks. Sessions are delivered in a compassionate, confidential setting by professionals who understand the complexities of anticipatory grief and family wellbeing.

Gunners Kids CIC continues to deliver a range of services across Cornwall, including activity days, workshops, drop-in support sessions, and tailored support boxes for children. All services are designed to help families cope with anticipatory grief, strengthen family bonds, and make the most of their time together.
