Best of luck to who is running the this weekend in aid of Edward’s Trust!

Chris is running in honour of family friends, Jess and Mike, who lost their baby, Charlie, in 2024. Edward’s Trust has provided support to both Jess and Mike to come to terms with their grief.

We have loved seeing Chris’s training updates and we are so grateful for his efforts, helping us to support Jess and Mike, and many other families around the West Midlands.

We wish you all the best for the run and we’re excited to know your run time! (no pressure)

Edward’s Trust Team.

We are excited to announce a charity of the year partnership with .co.uk .

The team at DrClear will be taking part in lots of different fundraising initiatives over the next year from donating the lost coins in the sofa to a teddy bear car boot and their every mile counts pledge.

The founder Chris states:
‘At DrClear, we work with families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. When we discovered Edward's Trust and the incredible support they provide to bereaved families across the West Midlands, the partnership felt completely natural. We don't just clear homes — we care deeply about the people behind every clearance. Edward's Trust shares that same humanity, and that's exactly why we chose them. Every mile we drive, every clearance we complete, now carries a little more meaning’

Pop over to their page to see all of the incredible fundraising they are doing.

Thank you DrClear for ‘Flying the Kite’

For many families, Mother’s Day is a special day filled with love and happiness. For those who are grieving the death of their mom or mother figure, Mother’s Day can be a very sad and difficult day with intense feelings of sadness, anger and loneliness.

One of our Children and Young Person’s counsellors Tracey has offered some suggestions that we hope will help you to cope with Mother’s Day, both when you are bereaved of your child or of your mom. Read the full blog post here: https://edwardstrust.org.uk/news/navigating-mothers-day-by-tracey-cox-childrens-and-young-peoples-counsellor/
