Volunteer For Us

Can you give a little time to make a big difference? Our volunteers are the lifeblood of Cherry Trees and without the tremendous support of our volunteers and donors Cherry Trees would not exist. They carry out vital activities and support that make Cherry Trees happen and without them we would not be able to provide the much needed short breaks that families with children with disabilities so desperately need.

Facilities and activities

We pride ourselves on being a 'home from home', with a range of exciting areas in the house and garden for children to safely play in, have fun and develop lasting friendships.
