Each year we choose a charity to support by raising funds, awareness and volunteering. All charities are nominated by staff members for charities within the BCP conurbation.

The team have chosen to support The Ellis Edwards Foundation, a local charity dedicated to helping children and families cope with the loss of a sibling, parent or carer.

The organisation offers counselling to children battling anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges. It also provides respite activities to give families time and space to step away from grief. The charity supports healthy emotional development for bereaved children and aims to increase community awareness of childhood grief.
