Brenda Edwards, the mother of Jamal Edwards, has announced the launch of the Jamal Edwards Self Belief Trust.The founder of SBTV sadly died at the age of 31 in February. Jamal helped launch the careers of many musicians including Ed Sheeran, Jessie J and Stormzy.

Taking to her Instagram page, Jamal's mother Brenda, 53, said that the new trust will honour her son by 'combatting homelessness, supporting people with mental health issues, and providing young people with essential life skills.'She wrote: "Jamal no longer being here has left a huge impact on my life and that of his family, friends and all those he supported and lifted in his unique and humble way. Jamal lived his life staying true to himself, providing a platform for all to showcase what made them special whilst encouraging all to believe in themselves to achieve their full potential.

"I have been so touched by the messages of support received from people from all walks of life who have positive stories to tell of Jamal's generosity which he gave selflessly."The Loose Women presenter added: "The Trust will look to establish a network of "Self Belief" Houses with the aim of offering individuals who are living rough a roof over their heads. There will be programmes to help tackle mental health issues they may face as well as the means to get back on their feet. The House will offer specialised programmes designed to address issues of self-confidence and other psychological challenges residents may face."

Jamal was passionate about empowering youth and providing the next generation with both the life skills and opportunities to maximise their potential. The second key initiative the Trust will focus its energy and resources on will be to build The SB Academy, which will continue the mission started by Jamal of hosting specialised programmes aimed at helping young people prepare themselves for adult life."The family have set up a fundraiser for the trust, which can be accessed here.
