Tree Nursery in England renews support to QBLUpdate on Cherry Tree Nursery Fundraising for Water Projects This charity from Bournemouth, England, has funded their third village water supply through raising funds for QBL. Previously, Cherry Tree Nursery funded village water projects in Villa Concepcion, Chichaque, and Chiquiruni.  Volunteers hold a raffle to fundraise for QBL's water projects. Recent fundraising efforts have been for the village of Chiquiruni. The water project they are funding will benefit 14 families in the community. In this area, where poverty reaches 90%, Cherry Tree's continuing support to QBL has helped the Bolivian people tremendously. Now they are supporting a project in Chuchulaya.  Since they began raising money for QBL projects, they have helped approximately 100 families. Cherry Tree has worked hard to raise money for QBL. Recently, they spend time volunteering to sell cakes, tea, coffee, greeting cards, books, CD's and held a raffle. Previously, they held a sponsored 'Water Walk' in which 20 of them walked 6 km carrying water containers weighing 6kg (13 lbs) to represent how Bolivians in Villa Concepcion and Chichaque have to carry their water every day. The wonderful volunteers raised over £10,120 to support QBL water supply projects! QBL is so grateful for their hard work and fundraising. Thank you!! More About Cherry Tree NurseryThe nursery was set up to address the great need for meaningful occupation, in a supportive and pressure-free environment, for adults with severe and enduring mental illness. Cherry Tree aims to use the therapeutic nature of horticulture to restore mental well-being. Part of Sheltered Work Opportunities Project's brief is to reduce stigma and discrimination by promoting public awareness of mental health issues.
