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

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

This year Ivar and Fiona and Una Bradley are all running the London Marathon in support of Cherry Trees. Most of you know our 2nd son ,Ben ,who has severe learning disabilities . We continue to care for him at home as we feel this is the best place for him but due to his high care needs and challenging behaviour it would be hard for us to cope without the fantastic respite care offered by Cherry Trees. As the other children get older they are all able to take a bigger role in Ben's care but we all benefit from the breaks offered by Cherry Trees where we know he is happy and safe . The money raised will go towards supporting children who have difficulty in accessing Cherry Trees due to lack of funding. Many many thanks for your support .

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cherry Trees gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
