What we do

Cherry Trees is a small charity providing exceptional home-from-home, specialist short-break respite visits for children and young adults aged 0-19 with a range of complex disabilities including learning, physical and sensory impairments.

Founded in 1980 by a group of parents and doctors, Cherry Trees is a lifeline for the families of more than 100 children and young people who are regularly cared for here, whether it be after school for a few hours, a weekend or a longer stay.  

Cherry Trees is a unique place, providing professional care in a safe, stimulating and fun environment, where every child is valued for who they are. It is a community that is dedicated to children and young people, enabling them to spend time with friends and enjoy new experiences and opportunities, while their families have a much needed break from care themselves.  

We look to provide bursary support to new and existing families on a financial and circumstantial basis.

Cherry Trees is the key charitable supplier of short-break respite care in Surrey offering 24 hour support 7 days a week for 48 weeks of the year. 

Cherry Trees supports every child's stay with voluntary income.   We need your support.

More of us are realising we need to introduce wellbeing into our days to keep on going. Here at Cherry Trees we are considering our response to how we are feeling and what we can be doing as an organisation to help our staff, families and volunteers.
