Every child deserves to feel safe and supported, especially when life becomes overwhelming.
The Ellis Edwards Foundation aims to bring a glimmer of light during their darkest days. ✨️
Through family days out, counselling, and community connection, we help children and their families to process loss, build resilience, and rediscover moments of joy, together. Our Family Support Team offers gentle, practical help tailored to each child’s needs, creating space for healing and hope.
The loss of sibling or parent during childhood is a traumatic and often isolating experience. We partner with specialist support services across Dorset to provide children with the support and tools they need to communicate their emotions and validate their feelings.
Whether you’re a parent, carer, teacher, or trusted adult, this form is a way to reach out on behalf of a child or family who may benefit from our support. Once submitted, our team will review the information with care and sensitivity, then be in touch within 2 weeks to explore the most appropriate next steps. We know it can take courage to ask for help. You’re not doing this alone.
