Community Giving
Schools, clubs and community groups - support bereaved families in your area
The power of community giving
We provide specialist bereavement support to children, parents and families across the West Midlands. Every year around 700 families turn to us for counselling, well-being therapies and support groups to help them navigate grief. With no government funding, we rely entirely on the generosity of our community to continue offering these vital services.
Your school, club, or community group can play a role in ensuring that no bereaved family faces their grief alone. Making a donation, whether a one-off contribution or a regular gift, helps us provide free, professional bereavement support to those who need it most. Use the donation form on this page to give directly and make an immediate impact.
There are many ways your community can help. Schools can encourage students and parents to give back through collective donations or charity events, while clubs and local groups can set up regular contributions or sponsor specific bereavement services. More than just donating, we also offer other ideas where you could consider joining our Kite Club as a regular giver, shopping through Easy Fundraising, or purchasing Edward’s Trust merchandise to support our cause.
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Your support helps us provide free counselling, create safe spaces for grieving families, and offer therapies that promote emotional well-being. Together, we can build a compassionate community where no one has to navigate grief alone.
