Birmingham charity relocates to the Calthorpe Estate

Edward’s Trust, a bereavement charity based in Birmingham, has found a new location.

Following the expiration of its lease at the previous Vicarage Road building, the charity is relocating to 37 Calthorpe Road.

The new facility offers additional counselling rooms and enhanced parking facilities for both clients and staff.

Birmingham-based property consultancy KWB secured and finalised the terms for the new property and will be overseeing the fit-out process.

Clare Martin, CEO of Edward’s Trust, said: “We are so excited to embark on this new era for Edward’s Trust and are grateful to KWB for their generous support. A larger property with more parking and room to offer group work allows us to provide qualified counselling and holistic support to even more bereaved children, young people, and parents in the West Midlands. We are looking forward to being a part of the wonderful Calthorpe community and thank everyone for the warm welcome we have already received.”

Tom Foley, asset manager at Calthorpe Estates, said: “To secure a locally renowned charity such as Edward’s Trust on the estate is a testament to the hard work of the team involved. It has been a pleasure to learn more about Edward’s Trust’s exciting plans for the building and the valuable work they undertake in the local community. Breathing life back into a listed vacant property ensures a positive outcome for both parties and we hope the charity will make 37 Calthorpe Road their long-term home for many years to come.

“No doubt the brilliant business network on the estate will work with Edward’s Trust to support them and raise funds for the vital services they offer.”
