Every donation, big or small, helps provide vital respite care for children with complex disabilities, giving their families the support they need to stay together. Every £9.16 raised could fund another hour of expert care in a safe, fun, and stimulating environment where children can develop life skills, gain independence, and enjoy new experiences. This essential care allows families to take a much-needed break, rest, and recharge, knowing their child is in safe hands. Cherry Trees is a lifeline for over 50 families, offering care after school, overnight, and for longer stays.
