We invite you to join us this summer to celebrate the power of stories and support bereaved families through our Edward’s Trust Summer Read-A-Thon. By reading 4 books throughout the month of August and fundraising for Edward’s Trust you will be making a huge difference in the lives of bereaved families!

Reading is a much-loved pastime proven to boost emotional wellbeing and cognitive functioning, accessible to all ages and can be enjoyed as a group activity. So why not get your nose in a book this summer holidays and help bereaved families to start their own new chapter.

All the money raised will go directly to fund the specialist and holistic services we offer for free to bereaved parents, children and young people across the West Midlands.

Every year, Edward’s Trust supports around 700 families who are navigating the devastating impact of bereavement. It costs approximately £600,000 annually to fund the range of vital services we provide, from counselling and well-being therapies to support groups, all free of charge and with no time limits.

Whether you’ve been supported by Edward’s Trust, or a book-loving supporter looking to make a difference, together let's bring hope and healing to bereaved families across the West Midlands!
