My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Mulberry Bush School works with some of the most distressed and vulnerable primary school-age children in the country. They have already been excluded from several schools and have usually been disrupting the community in which they live for a long time. They appear to be out of control and impossible to teach but, given their very difficult home circumstances, it is surprising that they have managed to cope for so long. The children will often have been neglected, abused, witnessed things which no child should have to, assumed excessive responsibility and, in all probability, never experienced a stable loving home life.

Situated outside Oxford, the school accepts up to 40 children aged 5-13 from all over England. With the great patience, reassurance and skilled care provided at the Mulberry Bush, these children are gradually encouraged to a stage where, possibly for the first time in their lives, they can learn to trust and respect themselves and others, establish ordinary relationships and begin to learn. Their appetite for self-improvement then increases dramatically and the success rate of the school is very high. By the time they leave, two-thirds of the children are ready to rejoin their community, go to local schools and live a rewarding life.
