The Mulberry Bush

Our work transforms the lives of all those affected by childhood trauma, through specialist therapeutic services. Our belief is that we have something special that we want to share with others and from which many could benefit. Founded in 1948, we are proud of our strong Therapeutic Community heritage and continue to build on how it informs our practice and services, enhancing the links between; Practice, Teaching and Research. The heart of the charity’s practice expertise is The Mulberry Bush School in Standlake, Oxfordshire. The Mulberry Bush Outreach service provides training, consultation and support to schools, care services and organisations working with challenging or vulnerable children, their families and communities. The Mulberry Bush is committed to research in therapeutic residential and foster care. MB3 (The Mulberry Bush Third Space) is located in Toddington, Gloucestershire and offers a ‘haven and reflective space’ for meaningful experiences. Visitors and colleagues recognise our systemic integrity; by that, they mean that we practise what we preach, that we’re open about the complexities of what we do; and that everyone here, from CEO to part-time gardener, plays a vital role in achieving a positive outcome for all those who come to us for help. We set up our consultancy service to help others in related sectors to do the same. We support you to uncover your ‘why’, to make it meaningful to everyone in your organisation, and to ensure its guiding presence is felt every day, in every facet of your work.
