Hands on for The Mulberry Bush
Are you a corporate or school?
Why your support is important
The Mulberry Bush Charity works to transform the lives of people troubled and traumatised as children, often as a result of abuse and neglect. By breaking the cycle of generational patterns of difficulty and poor life chances, your fundraising can help many of the most vulnerable members of society live their best lives. The following are examples of how the money could be spent.
- Our school, ensuring that our children have the best experience that we can provide them with during their three years with us. Over the last few years this has included the refurbishment of the residential houses and our ‘Great Outdoors’ appeal.
- Our ever-expanding Outreach and Training programmes for special and mainstream schools and the Criminal Justice System.
- Provision of therapeutic environments for others who need them.
- Research
- Our consultancy service
- Supporting UK & International therapeutic communities and other child-centred organisations working in childhood trauma
- Leading initiatives to share knowledge, experiences and best practice
We must cherish, listen, love and help young people in any way we can, to make the step to maturity become easier as they grow through childhood to teenage years…. after all, they will be the adults who will make a difference to our world.
How it benefits you
You can get together with staff across your company, having fun whilst either taking part in a challenge event or organising your own fundraising initiatives knowing that you are making a difference.

Other ways to spread the word
Sending out invitations, putting up posters and using flyers is another good way of telling everyone about your fundraising. You can find these in our fundraising pack.
Local shops will sometimes display your posters and you never know they might give you a raffle prize to support your event.
