At Cherry Trees we help people to build their skills and independence – and to enjoy themselves – by providing a mix of learning and leisure. Everyone has their own programme with individual goals. Our overall aim is to encourage people to become more independent, so each person has a timetable at home which we create with them to reflect their needs and likes. It includes home chores such as shopping, cooking and independent living skills, and social activities in the local community such as visiting clubs, pubs, restaurants, theatre, cinema and sports.
Everyone has a full programme of day activities that can include an extremely wide range of opportunities such as vocational skills training at our North Somerset Centre, supported employment, or further education at a local college.
At Cherry Trees itself we offer a range of activities including art and craft, music, games and puzzles, cooking and IT. We also have exercise equipment, a gazebo and table tennis.

The criteria for a referral to this service would be someone over 18 years old with a diagnosis of autism. Funding from a local authority or health trust would need to be in place.
In England the regulatory body CQC is ensuring support providers are providing local support for local people. Therefore when we receive a referral from outside of the local authority area where our service is, we need to demonstrate we have taken steps to explore meaningful family links or connections to the area. We would also need a clear rationale from the funder as to why they are seeking an out of county placement. Therefore not all referrals may be considered for each NAS service.
