Supporting Children & Families
Our Mission & Values
One to Cherish was born out of Liz’s love of caring for children and their families. Liz the founder and director spent many years through nursing, fostering and social work ensuring each child and family knew they were being supported and cared for.
Her focus and philosophy has remained high on her agenda and when redundancy took place some ten years ago she decided to take a leap of faith and put everything into becoming an independent social worker providing services for children and families. Services which are child and family centred and have become more varied meeting these needs.
Liz named the company One to Cherish which she fondly refers to as OTC because she wanted each family to know they are cherished when she is working with them and with the tagline ‘holding you so you can hold them’ giving the parents the support so they can support their children, offering them support to empower them to parent and support their children with a vision of building a much brighter future.
Parent Support
Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs in the world, in my opinion, you are responsible for the tiny person before you and sometimes that can feel overwhelming.
We all need help and support at times, sometimes it is just a listening ear or someone to tell you what an amazing job you are doing.
So if you would like support, a listening ear, or guidance then please do get in contact We are here for you
