We had such a wonderful time last weekend bringing children from both of our homes together.

Our team down at Cherry Trees – Goldcrest Lodge created a magical ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ themed day, complete with tea, sandwiches and decorations. 🐯

From getting creative with splash artwork in the garden (with water pistols and paint), to enjoying the bubble machine and fun games like “Pin the Tail on the Tiger” - there was something for everyone!

We loved making the most of the sunshine and we look forward to spending many more days together. 🌞

🏌️‍♂️What a fantastic time we had at The Drift Golf Club’s Senior Invitational on Monday!

120 golfers from across the South East came together on a gorgeous sunny day, and we were delighted to support their fundraising efforts for Cherry Trees as part of the Captain’s Charity of the Year support.

It was wonderful to be joined by Alison, a member of our communications team and one of our parents, who spoke to the players. It’s always so powerful for our supporters to hear first-hand about the difference their fundraising makes to our families.

We had a brilliant day all round, raising vital funds for Cherry Trees. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make it possible.

What a brilliant time we had on Sunday at Shere Open Gardens.

The sun was shining, there was a cheerful buzz in the air, and our stall was well and truly blooming thanks to so many kind donations.

Our community fundraiser Will and our volunteers Lindsay, Judith, Margaret and Nicole had a very busy day meeting and greeting visitors, and chatting away about Cherry Trees.

We were excited to hear the event had a record number of visitors this year, and would like to say an enormous thank you to Shere Open Gardens and to everyone who visited us and bought a plant or two. It was so lovely to hear such positive comments about the event and our stall.

Every penny helps makes a huge difference to the children and families we support. ❤️💚

As carers week draws to a close, we would like to reshare this short film.

Supporting families is at the core of what we do. We provide desperately needed respite and peace of mind to help prevent families from going into crisis.

At Cherry Trees, we are not just a children’s care home… we are a community showing up every day advocating for our children and families.

Our parent carers take on the world for their children and we are proud to be right there next to them.

Being a parent carer is a lifelong responsibility with thoughts and experiences that many people never see.

To be a parent, a nurse, an advocate, and an admin assistant all at once, all of the time is a huge number of roles for anyone. To have endless amounts of patience and love even on the hardest of days is emotionally, physically and mentally exhausting.

That is why what we do at Cherry Trees is so important, though we are just a small part of our children and their families’ support system we are there to offer whatever we can.

Our parent carers know that when their children visit us for a stay, they are happy and relaxed. They have the freedom to choose what they do and when they do it, treating our home like their own. This reassurance allows our parent carers a chance to rest and recharge knowing that their child is having fun and being cared for in a safe and loving environment.

We’ve crunched the numbers and we are delighted to share that Jazz in the Vineyard generated more than £11,000 to support the children and families who rely on us.

We want to say a massive thank you to all those who bought tickets and supported the event - from our guests, to our hosts at High Clandon Estate Vineyard and to the Sarah Jane Eveleigh Quintet. It was great to see so many people there enjoying the music, location and digging deep to show their support.

We also want to thank our raffle donors. We raffled off a luxury Surrey Hills Hamper and 10 runners up bottles of drink that were all donated by local businesses and residents. It proved to be quite the hit with 412 tickets being purchased and over £1,000 raised.

Thank you The Surrey Copper Distillery Limited, Silent Pool Gin, Harmony in Nature (Harmony Healing), Off Root - MTB Guide & Coach, Sarah Rawlins Artist, our hosts High Clandon Estate Vineyard and all the individuals who donated an item too.
