Giving a helping hand to those who need it most throughout the Eden Valley
Even the small things make a difference!
4Eden (formally Eden Mencap Society) is a local charity providing support, services, and opportunities throughout the Eden Valley from our office based in Penrith. Our services specialise in learning disability and autism spectrum disorder; standard/lower level and high level/complex needs. We provide a wide range of staff, trained and skilled to meet individual specific needs.
We work closely within our local community, with local people, voluntary groups and local employers to offer a diverse range of work placements, employment options, clubs and social groups. We network within our community to attract a variety of inclusive everyday activities that enable people to have friendships outside of paid support, focussing on independence, living and ordinary life.
We are always looking for people who share our values and who want to make a difference, becoming a member is one way of doing just that. If you believe in what we are doing then by becoming a member you can stay in touch with the latest developments via our member’s page and mailings when we have some important information to share.

It's always great to spend time outside whenever we can and over October Half Term. Alan and Max enjoyed some great outdoor local activities, Lowther Castle and Gardens, Cliburn Moss, Watchtree Nature Reserve, Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum, Brougham Hall Honesty Cafe and Appleby play park.

Looks great 👍 Do you know what sort of time is he expected tomorrow please?
We have 4 support groups this week for those who identify as Mums and Mums-to-be.
Our groups are open to mums with children of any age, this is a safe space to talk through whatever you need to; whether thats the effects of sleepless nights (due to babies or young adults not being home when they said they would be), kids or teens not wanting to go to school, managing EHCP processes or venting about balancing work and home.
If it is something that is effecting you, we're here to listen and support you.
You can sign up to our online group: www.happymums.org.uk/ or pop along to one of our in-person groups. If walking into a room of strangers is a bit anxiety inducing, we get it, we can arrange for a friendly face to meet you first so you're not walking through that door alone.

The Kids Club enjoyed a visit to the South Tynedale Railway. Many thanks to the Railway staff who always make us feel so welcome. We had the best time - travelled on the train, a tour of the signal box and lunch in the workshop. A great day out!
