Transforming troubled lives together
Working with all those made vulnerable by childhood trauma
We’re excited to be part of The Big Give’s Christmas Challenge this year which means that donations up to our target amount, made towards our refurbishment appeal via The Big Give’s website between Tuesday 30th November and Tuesday 7th December will be doubled.
All donations raised from this appeal will make a huge difference to emotionally traumatised children at The Mulberry Bush School, helping fund the refurbishment of the houses where the children stay during term time.
Welcome to
The Mulberry Bush
Our work transforms the lives of all those affected by childhood trauma, through specialist therapeutic services.
Our belief is that we have something special that we want to share with others and from which many could benefit.
Founded in 1948, we are proud of our strong Therapeutic Community heritage and continue to build on how it informs our practice and services, enhancing the links between; Practice, Teaching and Research.
Our organisation
The heart of the charity’s practice expertise is The Mulberry Bush School in Standlake, Oxfordshire.

MB3 (The Mulberry Bush Third Space) is the National Centre for Reflective Practice. Located in Toddington, Gloucestershire it offers a ‘haven and reflective space’ for meaningful experiences.
