500 days to the Olympics

As part of Guildford's celebrations marking 500 days to the Olympics, Cherry Trees' kids took part in a lantern-making workshop led by local artist Liliana Montoya. There will be a magical lighting of these lanterns (plus lots of other activities and entertainment) on the town bridge at 6.30pm on Tuesday. Hope to see you there!

One of our parent trustees, Martin Billet, is running the London Marathon in April.

His son, Nick, was looked after at Cherry Trees for over 13 years so this year he has decided to run the marathon for Cherry Trees.

Not content with running the 26.2 miles, he has also set himself the target of raising £5,000. Martin says, “Cherry Trees has cared for our son Nick for over 13 years and I am desperately keen to say a massive “thank you” to them. They have always gone the extra mile for our family - so I’ll try 26 miles for them. That’s about 2 miles for every year he was at Cherry Trees”.

Please help - it’s a huge target but together we can do it!

You can support him by making a donation at http://www.justgiving.com/cherryrunner. Please support Martin and help to keep Cherry Trees operating and maintained in these difficult financial times.
