Transforming troubled lives together
Working with all those made vulnerable by childhood trauma
Stephen Fry
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.
The Mulberry Bush is committed to research in therapeutic residential and foster care.
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.
The Mulberry Bush Outreach service provides training, consultation and support to schools, care services and organisations working with challenging or vulnerable children, their families and communities.
