The Pear Tree Fund We support people with life-changing illnesses in Halesworth and the surrounding areas. Thanks to your generosity, we have now constructed the building.

We have opened an innovative information and support centre in Halesworth which provides a wide range of valuable services for people who have been diagnosed with any life changing illnesses, as well as their families, friends and carers. Called the Pear Tree Centre, it acts as a one stop shop which provides counselling, help understanding a diagnosis, financial and benefits advice and complementary treatments close to people's homes. However, we are still asking for your support to meet the running costs of the building so that we can continue to support vulnerable members of our community when they need it the most.

On September 25th we hosted a Macmillan coffee morning at the centre. A big thank-you to everyone who joined us and a special thanks to Pauline for bringing in a few treats to share. We've donated £63.45 to Macmillan cancer support.

We work closely with other support agencies here at the Pear Tree such as Macmillan to ensure we can always signpost the people who walk through our doors needing help to the most useful and relevant support available.

The Pear Tree Fund hosted an art exhibition last week to showcase the incredible pieces of work created by its art wellbeing group members this term. It was fantastic to see all of this talent displayed at the centre and for the group members to share their creations with family and friends.

What is Art therapy? Art Therapy uses creative expression, rather than conversation alone, as the primary way to process emotions, reduce stress, and work through psychological challenges. It’s to use the act of creating as a pathway into thoughts and feelings that might be difficult to put into words.

If you think our Art Wellbeing group could help you, then get in touch to find out more details:
