Hold a CHERRYTASTIC Tea Party

Can you hold a small or large Cherrytastic tea party so that children with disabilities can come along to Cherry Trees and enjoy a stay for a couple of hours tea visit all the way up to a 16 night stay, so parents can receive most needed break in order to keep caring for their child or children. Your help will make a huge difference.

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

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.
