38 CHARITY SPECIAL Tributes Tributes sales director, Adam Masters, is competing in the Brighton 10k run this November in memory of his baby son Benjamin, who tragically died in April. Donations raised will go to support the local children’s hospice, Chestnut Tree House, which is very close to their hearts as they took great care of Benjamin and the family at such a difficult time. Adam’s JustGiving page is already over halfway to its goal of raising £1,000. Adam’s previous fundraising achievements have provided almost £18,000 for equipment for the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at St George’s Hospital in London. Anyone wishing to support this cause can find details on Adam’s fundraising page at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/adam-masters7 Telephone: [phone] Website: www.tributes.ltd.uk Woodland Trust The Woodland Trust, the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity, offers a lasting way to remember a loved one in the form of tree and woodland dedications.

Benches or grove posts featuring a special message can be included in a woodland dedication to add a personal touch to the memorial. The Woodland Trust is happy to work directly with funeral directors and will arrange everything for you. The charity’s sympathetic and knowledgeable team can also arrange a dedication directly with the family if they’d prefer.
