	" My youngest son, Ethan, has difficulty walking due to his Down Syndrome and getting him to his appointments and to nursery by public transport on time had always been a struggle as I have been suffering from a frozen shoulder for a couple of years. Having a new baby had meant it was becoming a real toil getting around and I felt that Ethan was missing out a little. Through the Down Syndrome Association we were advised to contact a few local charities. Cherryhomes were fantastic. They got back to us straight away saying they could possibly help us to buy a cargo bike. We met with two of the trustees in our home, where they met Ethan, and they explained how they could help us and the ethos of Cherryhomes trust in offering long term support. Within a few weeks they had arranged for a cargo bike to be bought for us and fitted out to our needs. We have been using the bike almost every day since and it has transformed how we get around Cambridge, and Ethan, as well as his brother James and his sister Lila love sitting in the box seat. Thanks to Cherryhomes we are able to do a few more things that would otherwise have been difficult to arrange. Thanks once again for all of your help and support. " Marta and Paul
	" I first found out about Cherryhomes by picking up a leaflet up in my GP's surgery. At the time I had just been offered a lovely new bungalow which had been built by a Housing Trust to be fully wheelchair accessible. I have been a wheelchair bound paraplegic for over 40 years following a road traffic accident and my current council owned bungalow was not suitable for my needs and unsuitable for adaptation. My wife had recently given up work to be my full time carer and we were delighted to accept the bungalow but concerned about how we would finance the floor coverings as The Housing Trust were unable to supply the flooring other than that in the bathroom but they did specify that any flooring we had put down had to meet non slip specifications. On investigation this type of flooring was beyond our budget so we decided to contact Cherryhomes to see if they could help. We were assigned two Trustees from the organisation who came to our home to meet us. To have that personal contact was brilliant because we had the time in relaxed surroundings to discuss our problems. Furthermore the Trustees explained that if Cherryhomes were able to help us they would remain linked to us for as long as we needed them. This meant that they would remain in contact with us and we would have continuity and a trusted friend/s to speak to whenever we felt the need for advice. I don't know of any other organisation that provides this support and it has been invaluable to us. Cherryhomes may be small but they provide a wonderful service to disabled people. Once the Trustees determined that they were able to help us everything was arranged so quickly and efficiently and our flooring was laid in time for our move. We can only liken Cherryhomes to a supportive and knowledgeable family and I will always be glad that I picked up that leaflet in my GP's surgery. " David
	"Although Cherryhomes may be a small organisation, it is huge in terms of the impact it has on the lives of its Sponsored Members. Aside from some financial assistance that I received when settling into my new home, just knowing that they are there to offer me practical advice and support whenever required is simply invaluable."
