Our Mission
The primary goal of Reuben’s Retreat is to create a sanctuary that will be a home-from-home for families coping with the serious illness of a child, providing respite breaks and the chance to build happy memories.
We already provide support and counselling for Mums, Dads and siblings of a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening illness and for those who have lost their precious child, brother or sister.
OUR MISSION – to relieve the distress of families who have suffered the bereavement of a child or have a child suffering from a life limiting/threatening illness
OUR VISION – to renovate our countryside respite, bereavement support & counselling centre in Glossop, North West England
REUBEN’S LEGACY – ‘a place to Relax, Recharge, Remember, Rebuild, built on an army of love and compassion’
