Story

John Paul Retreats has been offering retreats for bereaved families since January 2016. For more information, news or features about this outreach, please log on to www.johnpaulretreats.org

Anthony McMahon, who lost his brother John Paul in 1984 when he was a young boy, has made this peaceful Retreat apartment available to bereaved parents throughout the UK. He writes "I just want to offer something to people who have suffered like us...I hope that many get time to take a break at the Retreat, as they continue to deal with the loss that never leaves you".

John Paul Retreats is supported by the Compassionate Friends, a charitable organisation of bereaved parents & siblings. For over 45 years, TCF has been dedicated to the support of others who have suffered the death of a child from any age, from any cause. Helpline: 0345 123 2304 helpline@tcf.org.uk  www.tcf.org.uk
