Supporting Children’s Charities
The Mulberry Bush School
Established in 1948 at Standlake near Witney, The Mulberry Bush School works with some of the most emotionally distressed and traumatised primary school-aged children in the country.
They have experienced early trauma, neglect and abuse and have usually had numerous failed educational and home placements. They suffer from extreme levels of emotional distress, leading to behaviour which makes it difficult to support them in a standard community setting.
The Mulberry Bush Charity is now so much more than just the School. Through our Research and Outreach and Training Teams, we use our experience and knowledge to support emotionally-traumatised children (as well as those around them) throughout Oxfordshire, as well as further afield.
Despite being a national resource, The Mulberry Bush receives limited central government funding. Local authorities pay fees which cover the basic cost of care and education at the School. However, these don’t cover building improvements, many outreach services, research, new service developments or any of the fun, extra-curricular activities which many other children take for granted and which emotionally-traumatised children so desperately need.
