02 Activities

What the charity does

Cherish works with children and families in crisis, in Africa and the UK. In Africa we focus on education, relief and development, while in the UK we have worked with victims of domestic violence, and children in areas of high deprivation. Cherish always works direct with local service providers. All projects have been inspected by a trustee, or other nominated person.
