Cherry Trees

Cherry Trees is an exceptional charity, providing respite care to children 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. At Cherry Trees we see child first, disability second, valuing every child for who they are. We are 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.
