A bereavement charity based in Birmingham is relocating to a new home.

Edward's Trust has signed up for office space at 37 Calthorpe Road, in Edgbaston, following the expiration of the lease at its previous premises in nearby Vicarage Road.

The new property will provide more counselling rooms and improved parking provision for clients and staff.

Chief executive Clare Martin said: "We are so excited to embark on this new era for Edward's Trust.

"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 landlord Calthorpe Estates, added: "To secure a local renowned charity such as Edward's Trust on the estate is 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."

Birmingham property consultancy KWB sourced the property and agreed terms.

It is also managing the fit-out process, including the design, appointment of a contractor and securing listed building consent.

Director Martin Cook said: "After an extensive search around Birmingham, 37 Calthorpe Road proved to be an excellent fit for Edward's Trust.

"We can't wait to see the charity thrive in their new home. They do incredible work and it has been an honour to give our time to help such a worthy cause."
