What We Do
4Eden is a local charity providing coaching & support, services, and opportunities throughout the Eden Valley from our office based in Penrith. Our services specialise in learning disability, neurodiversity and additional learning needs.
We work closely within our local community, with local people, voluntary & community 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, focusing on independence, living and ordinary life – their ‘best life’.
