Cherrywood House

Cherrywood provides support for 13 people with learning disabilities, autism and challenging behaviour. We encourage, support and promote independence for everyone living at Cherrywood. We do everything we can to improve the health and wellbeing of the individuals we support and as a team we are focused on building positive outcomes for everyone.

What It's Like to Live Here

The Cherrywood staff team encourage and support people to access a range of day opportunities, local colleges and employment. We support and encourage people to participate in activities that promote life skills and independence; from cooking, cleaning and shopping, to making appointments, managing finances and attending work placements.

In the evenings some people like to go to the pub, go out for a meal, or maybe go to the theatre.

Within the house we continually and consistently promote the development of social skills, independent living and personal responsibility. The people who live here are very proud of their home as they have so much involvement in creating it.
