Why we’re here

Cherry Trees is a small charity providing home-from-home specialist short breaks 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 even a couple of weeks 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.

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.
