A charity has set up a purpose-built home to support vulnerable children.
Bramble House, a project of Oxfordshire charity The Mulberry Bush, was named by students from The Mulberry Bush's residential therapeutic school.
The new facility raises the charity’s accommodation provision for the year and can accommodate as many as 6 children at once, offering a safe and secure environment and specialist care and education.
The Mulberry Bush aims to reunite children with a family setting wherever possible, collaborating with various fostering agencies to ensure every child experiences the benefits of a loving home.
Bramble House will support children aged between 5 and 13 who struggle with managing their behaviours and emotions because of attachment issues.
The Mulberry Bush can provide a safe environment over a 3 to 4 year period.

Lee Wright, the director of the school at The Mulberry Bush, said: "We are delighted to announce the opening of our new home, Bramble House.
"The new home allows us to provide much needed, year-round care and support to more vulnerable children.
"As well as a place of safety and security, Bramble House will give these children the opportunity to learn, thrive and work collaboratively."
