My girlfriend’s parents John and Nicky have worked at The Mulberry Bush for over 20 years and have played a massive part in providing services to children affected by trauma. This fundraiser is a thank you to them for their hard work and to help ensure The Mulberry Bush can continue the great service it provides as no child should be subjected to trauma! To find out more about The Mulberry Bush, please read below. Myself and the charity would recognise and appreciate any kind of support, and I’ll be posting regularly on here and Strava as I progress towards running the Marathon!

Transforming troubled lives through specialist therapeutic services

The Mulberry Bush School was established in 1948 in Standlake, near Witney & is a residential school for some of the most emotionally distressed and traumatised primary school-aged children. These children have experienced early trauma, neglect & abuse and have usually had numerous failed educational and home placements.

Nowadays, The Mulberry Bush is so much more than the School. Through Outreach & Training, research & the National Centre for Reflective Practice.
