The difference we make

THE CHOUDHARY'S STORY

Mum Holly knows what a difference having Cherry Trees in their lives makes to all the family. With sleep-less nights, two other children to look after and holding down a job, Cherry Trees really does bring respite to her and her husband. Whilst Sofia's happy here with us (doing what she loves, which is baking), the rest of the family can re-connect and rest at home. Read more

CHERRY TREES MONTHLY SURREY ADVERTISER COLUMN - 5

Cherry Trees primary aim is to prevent family break-up, knowing that the provision of respite care for children with disabilities can give their families a little time out from caring too. But charities like ours are not in abundance across the UK which means for many families there is no break from caring. We've joined a campaign to re-address a major absence in support services for families with a child with a disability.

HATS OFF TO JILL

Cherry Trees respite stays are more in demand than ever. We are trusted by the families who drop their children off with us because of the quality of care we offer and that's because of our caring staff. One of our team has reached a significant work mile-stone - read on to see her achievement.

Why we’re here

Cherry Trees is here to provide respite care to families for their children with disabilities and we support every child's stay with voluntary income to ensure this happens.

Volunteer for us

2019 is a big year for our charity with increasing numbers of families coming to us for support, a calendar of exciting events and work on raising our profile underway. We have six new volunteering opportunities we need help with - could it be you ? Our volunteers are the lifeblood of Cherry Trees and without their tremendous support and our donors Cherry Trees would not exist. Voluntary support enables us to keep investing in our respite care which families so desperately come to us for.
