The Edwards Trust

Posted on by

Edward’s Trust mission is to provide holistic, person centred services to help West Midlands families bereaved in traumatic circumstances to cope with their grief and improve their wellbeing. The donation from the James Beattie Charitable Trust will provide vital one-to-one counselling support to parents whose child or children have died, giving them a space to talk about and understand their feelings, realise that what they’re going through is part of the “normal” grieving process and to have hope for the future.

We are so thankful to the Trust for the grant – we’ll put it to use awarding a Scholarship to an exceptional student from Heath Park School in Wolverhampton (as we did in 2018).  We were only set up i

Universities where Scholarship winners are now studying;

n 2016, but this summer we hope to be able to award over 150 Scholarships to fantastic young people as they start university.  We have donors support Scholarships in schools and colleges from Newcastle to Penzance, and we’re proud to be able to include Wolverhampton in in our coverage across England.

PDSA

Stella with her owner Deborah Oak. Stella underwent a lifesaving operation to remove the pyometra which when weighed later was 2.2kg (roughly the same weight as a 5lb bag of potatoes). Stella has since gone on to make a full recovery.

PDSA exists to provide free expert veterinary care and treatments to the pets of the people who are most in need in society; those who simply could not afford private care for their beloved pets.  For the people and pets of Wolverhampton, we offer these services through a dedicated PDSA Pet Hospital in the city, which on an average day sees around 100 poorly pets and worried owners.  Anyone who owns a pet can appreciate the value they undoubtedly bring to our lives.  For everything they give us, we need to be doing everything we can to keep them healthy and happy in return.  The wonderful donation from the James Beattie Charitable Trust will help us to continue this work; enabling us to reunite pet and owner quicker.

Changing Tunes Midlands

We have found the recent

contribution from James Beattie Trust extremely useful in maintaining our existing work in HMP Brinsford YOI, working with young men 16-25

yrs. Our musician has found the work exciting, challenging and fun; getting participants to open up and reveal the types of music they like and want to engage with. Initially this is difficult without them feeling judged by peers, however as our musician works to create a good environment they start to engage with the process. We now have people working with us writing and performing their own music, with keys, Beats and Hip hop styles, including bass playing and hand drumming. Changing Tunes Midlands is working to expand our operations into HMP Oakwood and HM

P Featherstone prisons in the very near

future and values the support of the James Beattie Trust.
