How to access our respite services

We accept enquiries from parents, carers, social workers or other professionals, but in order to access Cherry Trees, children need to have a social worker. The social services team then refer children to us based on need.

We encourage all new parents and carers to get in touch with us to arrange an informal first visit. Following this visit we can send your social worker a referral form to complete.

For more information please get in touch with Paula Rankin, our Head of Care on 01483 222506 or [email protected]
