'Therapeutic Living With Other People's Children' is a major archive and oral history project engaging with the history and heritage of residential therapeutic child care between about.1930 and about1980.  With support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Planned Environment Therapeutic Trust (PETT) is working with volunteers to record personal histories, preserve the archives of individuals and communities, and help people to share and learn about their own, and other people's heritage.

The project welcomes volunteers interested in learning about oral history, sharing their heritage, history and memories, or learning how to care for historical records and archives.

Based in Toddington in Gloucestershire, the Planned Environment Therapy Trust's charitable mission is to support, promote, record, value and celebrate therapeutic work in caring, healing environments, institutions and communities for children, young people and adults, through the use of its Archive and Study Centre and Conference Facilities.
