Charity: Cherry Trees

Cherry Trees is a small Surrey based charity, providing home from home specialist short breaks for children and young people aged 0-19 with a range of disabilities including learning, physical and sensory impairments. We provide high quality services within a relaxed, caring environment. Cherry Trees fulfills a critical service in addressing the needs of the children and parents it supports and is a lifeline for the families of more than 100 children and young people who are regularly cared for here. We recognise that children are best looked after at home, however because of the complex needs of many of our children, they require very specialist care. Cherry Trees provides professional care in a safe loving environment, where every child is valued for who they are and also provides a welcome break for their families. Cherry Trees aims to be a model of excellence in respite care/short breaks for children and young adults with physical, learning and sensory disabilities. We are dedicated to providing high quality respite care to children in a relaxed and caring setting Cherry Trees aims to grow from strength to strength in terms of the service it provides and is committed to increasing its capacity and range of services and facilities offered. As the pressure on our parents is increasing, we see it as part of our strategic remit to not only provide respite care but also to provide advice and support on broader issues. Our objectives are to reach out to as many families as possible, to help prevent family breakdown, enable young people to progress and for families to be fully integrated in the local community.
