At Cherished, our mission is to create a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, seen, soothed, & secure. Through kindness, compassion, and meaningful connection, we empower children to thrive, ensuring they know they are valued, supported, and never alone.
Relationship-Focused, Attachment-Based Support for Every Child
We offer a safe environment where every child feels seen, soothed & secure. Through our tailored mentoring, engaging school courses, and Blossom and Roar Groups, we focus on building strong, supportive relationships between children and our leaders. Our trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach ensures that children receive the support they need, fostering meaningful connections that promote growth and regulation.
Putting Connection First: Training and Events to Support Children with Compassion
We extend our support beyond direct support to offer training and events for schools, trusts, parents, communities and professionals. Our training courses are designed to enhance understanding and skills relating to connection, trauma and the best practices for supporting children through the lens of love and compassion.

Our Attachment-Focused Framework
Throughout our charity, we focus on the 4Ss of attachment.
Safe
Providing accepting, confidential spaces for children to build positive attachments and explore their emotions and behaviours.
Seen
Giving children dedicated time and attention, opportunities to use their voice and realise their true worth. We focus on fostering genuine connections to help them feel truly acknowledged and understood.
Soothed
Using tailored techniques to equip children with the knowledge and tools to manage their emotions. We emphasise the importance of understanding and regulating emotions to promote emotional wellbeing.
Secure
To nurture and develop the true potential of every child, building their confidence and establishing security in their identity. We help children recognise and build on their strengths, fostering a strong sense of self and identity.
