KWB helps Edward’s Trust expand into new base at Edgbaston Village

KWB is proud to have helped Birmingham-based bereavement charity Edward’s Trust find a new home at Calthorpe Estates’ thriving Edgbaston Village.

The charity is moving to larger premises at 37 Calthorpe Road after the lease expired at its former building in Vicarage Road, just a short drive away.

As part of our long-term support of the charity, Martin Cook, our Head of Valuations & Lease Advisory, sourced the property and agreed terms. Adrian Southall, Director of KWB Workplace, is overseeing the office fit-out process, including the design, appointment of a contractor and securing listed building consent.

Clare Martin, CEO at 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. This 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.”

Martin Cook added: “After an extensive search around Birmingham, 37 Calthorpe Road proved to be an excellent fit for Edward’s Trust. It’s an attractive two-storey building close to transport links within the regenerated Edgbaston Village area.

“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.”

Tom Foley, Asset Manager at 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.”
