What We Do
Edgar’s Gift is an East Midlands based charity set up in 2010 in memory of Ben Edkins, who passed away following a year long fight with cancer. He was just 25 when he died after battling Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of muscle cancer. The charity was founded by Ben’s parents Julie and Neil Bradman, alongside Ben’s family and friends – all of whom Ben influenced and had a special and positive effect on their lives. Edgar’s Gift aims to raise money, which will enable us to provide special days out, unique experiences and luxury gifts for young adults aged 18-30 who are suffering from cancer.
How We Do It
Our fundraisers at Edgar’s Gift work tirelessly in order to raise money. We organise events (large and small), from quiz nights, raffles and sponsored walks all the way up to football Games featuring ‘Legends’ of years gone by. Edgar’s Gift has links with local hospitals that make us aware of people who need our help. Applications for help can be made by contacting us. The charity strives to provide treasured/memorable gifts or positive experiences for families that are going through a tough time.
