Raising money for

Cherry Trees

Charity Registration No. 800222

Cherry Trees provides home from home respite care for children and young people with severe learning and physical disabilities. We recognise that these children are best looked after at home but, because of their very special needs, they require very special care, often 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

It’s not surprising then that from time to time both they and their families need a break. Cherry Trees is that special place, providing professional care in a safe and loving environment, where every child is valued for who they are. It is a community that values them and enables them to spend time with friends whilst their families have a much-needed break.

Founded in 1980 by a group of parents and doctors, Cherry Trees has become a lifeline for the families of more than100 children and young people who are regularly cared for here – for a few hours, a weekend or even a couple of weeks.

My story

HI FOLKS

This year when my grandson was born I decided to learn to swim so I could enjoy the water with him. I have never been able to swim and have a fear of deep water since I nearly drowned at 8 years old. So Jane set out to teach me this spring. I was fine till I had to swim in the deep end, but with Jane’s help and encouragement I did and achieved 12 lengths of the spectrum pool .I have decided to do the swim for the children and sponsor Cherry trees and Home Start I am aiming to do 18 lengths of the spectrum pool on September 5^th

Why 18 you may ask? Well I had a special friend who went to cherry trees and it would have been his 18^th birthday this year and I wanted to do something to remember him. So what better way than to raise money for some where that he enjoyed going.

If you would like to sponsor me please sign below and let me thank you for giving to some good causes,
