What We Offer

Sand Rose provides free breaks to any bereaved family or person although there is a particular emphasis on young families.

We offer one or two week breaks in Cornwall. We can also offer short breaks if needed.

Sand Rose works through a nomination process. All requests for a break must be supported by a nominee.

We usually book 3 – 6 months in advance.

Subsidised travel costs are available upon request.

We feel we offer a unique place for people to adjust and become more able to cope with their loss. Grief is isolating. Experience shows that a break at Sand Rose provides that necessary stepping stone for people to move forward.

It has opened up a lot of conversation within my family. I honestly think that we will move forward now.

What we do not provide

Counselling or therapeutic programmes
One-to-one support
Meals

We simply provide the venue, space and time for a break.

We’ve talked a lot about how we all feel and the boys have discussed things that we haven’t touched on before to do with their Dad
