About The Marian Elizabeth Trust
Family Fund is proud to administer a grant programme, on behalf of the Marian Elizabeth Trust. The Trust is named in memory of Marian Edwards, and her daughter Elizabeth. Marian devoted her life to caring for Elizabeth who was born with multiple complex learning and physical support needs. She was born in 1939, during a time of little understanding, or available support for families raising disabled or seriously ill children.
