In March 2012 Charlie Codling was suddenly diagnosed with a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), an incurable brain tumour. Devastatingly after only 5 months, Charlie passed away on 6 September 2012, just 2 weeks before his 5th birthday.

Inspired by Charlie’s love for life, strength, humour and caring nature, Charlie’s Mum and Dad, Karen and Steve were able to ‘Find the Wonderful in Today’ which they have adopted as their family motto and started the charity: Charlie’s Beach Hut Fund.

Charlie’s, is a beach hut style caravan at Perran Sands in Perranporth which aims to provide families of children with life limiting illnesses and families of fire-fighters that have suffered bereavement, or life changing injury whilst in the line of duty, a relaxing environment so they can forge some forever memories, in a hope that they can ‘Find the Wonderful in Today’.
