A HUGE THANK YOU TO ADVANCED DRYLINING
We want to give a massive shout-out to everyone at Advanced Drylining, who raised an incredible £2,110 for Brody’s Trust through their charity golf day!
We are absolutely blown away by the amount raised and so grateful that you chose to support Brody’s Trust.
A huge amount of work goes into organising an event like this, so thank you to everyone at Advanced Drylining who made the day happen, everyone who took part, and all the businesses and individuals who donated and supported the day.
For a small charity like ours, £2,110 really does make a difference. 100% of what we raise goes back into Brody’s Trust, helping us continue developing our Multi-Sensory Community Hub and creating somewhere special for children, young people and their families.
Support from local businesses means so much to us. It isn't just about the money raised, it's knowing that people believe in what we are doing and want to be part of making it happen.
From everyone at Brody’s Trust, THANK YOU Advanced Drylining!
An amazing £2,110 raised from one fantastic golf day. We couldn't be more grateful for your support.

🏆Forest Volunteer Awards 2026🏆

🌟 HIGHLY COMMENDED — People's Champion: Lewis Chapman 🌟
A volunteer trustee at Brody's Trust who goes above and beyond, helping manage projects across renovation, maintenance, IT and governance. Despite running his own business full-time in Bristol, Lewis travels up at least once a week and most weekends — running cables, breaking down walls, painting, and chasing contractors.
Quiet, unseeking of recognition, and utterly vital to the charity's growth. 👏

SPOTLIGHT RECOGNITION

Today we want to shine a very special spotlight on Andy from Inferno Branding! ❤️
Andy has done SO much for Brodys Trust, and we honestly can’t thank him enough for the incredible support he continues to give us.

When our amazing lads, Mike & Paul, took on their incredible bike ride challenge, Andy supplied them with all the kit they needed - completely FREE of charge! 🚴‍♂️🔥

This was such a massive help and support to us, and it meant more than you know. It helped Mike & Paul look the part while taking on their amazing challenge and raising support for Brodys Trust. 💙

Andy has also provided merchandise for our recent events and continues to go above and beyond to support us, helping Brodys Trust grow, thrive and continue doing what we do for children and families.

It’s people like Andy, who give their time, skills and generosity, that make such a huge difference to small charities like ours.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, ANDY!🫶

Thank you for being such a super supporter of Brodys Trust and for always believing in what we are trying to achieve. We are incredibly grateful for you!

A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO THE DOG & MUFFLER
We want to give a huge shout-out and thank you to everyone at The Dog & Muffler Inn for choosing Brody’s Trust as their Charity of the Year.
Over the year, the team, customers and everyone who has supported their fundraising have been absolutely incredible. From organising events, collecting donations and getting behind Brody’s Trust, so much time and hard work has gone into supporting us.
Together, they have raised an incredible £2,975.46 for Brody’s Trust.
For a small charity like ours, support like this really does mean so much. Every penny raised goes straight back into Brody’s Trust and helps us continue developing our Multi-Sensory Community Hub and supporting children, young people and their families.
But it isn't only about the amount raised. It's knowing that a local business and its community have chosen to stand behind us, believe in what we're trying to achieve and spend an entire year helping us make it happen.
To the whole team at the Dog & Muffler, and every single person who donated, attended an event, bought a raffle ticket, put money in a collection or helped with the fundraising in any way, THANK YOU.
£2,975.46 is an amazing achievement, and you should all be incredibly proud of what you've done.
From all of us at Brody’s Trust, thank you for having us as your Charity of the Year and for being part of Brody’s journey.
We are so grateful for every single one of you.

🏆Forest Volunteer Awards 2026🏆
🎉 WINNER — Brody's Trust 🎉
🏆 COMMUNITY ORGANISATION AWARD WINNER: Brody's Trust! 🏆

Founded in memory of a much-loved boy named Brody, this incredible charity is building an inclusive, safe and therapeutic space where families of children with additional needs, disabilities and complex medical conditions can connect and find support — without judgement.

In 2025, Brody's Trust achieved something extraordinary: securing the former Joys Green Primary School in Lydbrook to transform into a state-of-the-art Multi-Sensory Community Hub, made possible by volunteers and local businesses donating their time, skills and support.

A building full of love, hope and true inclusion — a lasting legacy for families across our community. Huge congratulations! 💛

STAY & PLAY

WHAT A SUCCESS! 💛

We just wanted to take a moment to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported our Stay & Play sessions!

We are so pleased to say that they went really well, and we have raised a fantastic amount for Brodys Trust! 💛

Every penny raised will help towards the future of Brodys Trust Hub and the work we do to support children and families. We honestly cannot thank everyone enough for coming along, supporting us, donating, volunteering and simply believing in what we are trying to achieve. It means more than you know. 🫶

And then came a very special little visitor…✨️

Some of you may know the significance of the dragonfly to us here at Brodys Trust. During one of our sessions, we were joined by this beautiful little dragonfly.

It may seem like a small moment to some, but to us, it touched a very special place in our hearts. 💙

Moments like this remind us exactly why we do what we do. Seeing children enjoying our spaces, families coming together and watching Brodys Trust grow makes every bit of hard work worthwhile. 🥹💛

Thank you for helping us make our vision for Brodys Trust Hub a reality. We couldn't do it without you. 🌟

From all of us at Brodys Trust, THANK YOU! 💛
