What do you get in return?
By joining The Mulberry Bush Business Club, for a minimum annual amount of £500, you will receive the following fantastic annual benefits. The more you support, the more you receive! PLEASE NOTE: These amounts can be fundraised by staff, paid for by the company or support can also be pro-bono (with a value placed on it):
Bronze level support
(£500 to £1,500)
- Your logo on our website highlighting your support for The Mulberry Bush charity that you can share with clients and link to your website to show your support.
- An opportunity to visit our school in Oxfordshire to hear about and see the amazing work our educational and outreach teams do with the kids on site and those in the local community. This will help visitors build a positive and meaningful relationship with The Mulberry Bush charity.
- Staff motivation talks for your staff to increase staff engagement and explain why this work matters and how it benefits us all.

Silver level support

- 1 creative group workshop from our fantastic resident music or drama therapists for staff. For example, these could be drum circles or drama-based workshops. Please note, these will not be therapy sessions but would give a flavour as to how the creative arts can help to bond, energise and regulate groups. This is a tremendous way to reward staff with an educational yet thought provoking and fun session at your work.
- 1 training session for staff from our superb Outreach team. The content of this would be specific to your organisation but could be sessions such as “An introduction to emotion coaching”, “The complexities of working in a group”, “Team dynamics” or “Emotional support for children”, for example.

Where will the money go?
As a charity, The Mulberry Bush raises funds to enable everyone who needs our help to access our services and expertise. We are transforming the landscape of support available to those who need us, their families and communities. By driving change and extending our reach, we are raising awareness, increasing understanding and establishing higher standards.
Our ultimate aim is to enable every one of those we support – whether directly or indirectly – to make positive change and live their best life. We do this by providing specialist therapeutic services, learning, training and research and by driving widespread adoption of the approaches that we know work best.
How your money helps:
- Helps us provide a more homely environment at our school, with activities that encourage children to learn, play and build healthy relationships with adults and other children.
- Helps provide subsidised training, products and services to people and organisations who can’t afford to pay.
- Helps us develop new training, products and services to reach more children, young people and those who work with them.
- Helps us to keep learning and research at the heart of everything we do, so we better understand what works, share it and learn from others, improving standards & practice.
