Enabling the carers at Cherry Trees to spend more time taking care of the children with learning/physical disabilities.
Project Goal
To raise £2100 for purchasing 12 tablets so that carers can complete their paperwork after the children go home, ensuring that MORE QUALITY TIME is spent with the CHILDREN and that all progress and assessment reports will be in one easily accessible place, along with medication and care requirements.
Each child has to go home with a report that consists of 3 x A4 pages for every 24 hours of care. CURRENTLY, these are handwritten and then photocopied, to be placed in the child’s bags. It becomes very difficult for our carers as they have to write their reports at the same time as caring for the children.
Who are we?
We are students studying MSc Entrepreneurship at the University of Surrey that works closely with Cherry Trees, a charity that offer exceptional home-from-home specialist short breaks/respite for children and young adults aged 0-19 with a range of complex disabilities including learning, physical and sensory impairments. They provide professional care in a safe, stimulating and fun environment, where every child is valued for who they are.
How can you make a difference?
With your kind donations and generous support, cares can now spend more time caring for children. Donations of any amount will result in carers having more time to care!
