Honoured to meet today with @Edwardstrust’s founder Peter Dent and first CEO Christine Bodkin to talk about our future. 36 years on, the need is still great. The charity sector is tough, but with courage, compassion and your support, we keep going. #EdwardsTrust #LegacyAndFuture
Every so often, I sit with where @Edwardstrust began - with Edward, aged 7, who drew a pink kite that became our symbol. His courage still guides us. No strings attached - just support for as long as families need it.

As CEO of @Edwardstrust, I’m working to ensure more families across the West Midlands get the free, specialist bereavement support they need.
If you work with families, I’d love to connect.

It’s a little late in the day, but no less heartfelt - I’d like to wish a very Happy Birthday to my dear friend, mentor, and amazing Patron of @Edwardstrust, the very special @Judy_at_TW. A friendship that I appreciate dearly. I hope you’ve had a happy day, Judy x
I picked up the most beautiful orchid gift yesterday when I was in the @Edwardstrust office. Our wonderful patron, and my friend @Judy_at_TW, always knows how to give a boost 🩷 Thank you so much! Xx
