Even the small things make a difference!
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’.

Independent Travel Training was launched earlier this year by our team here at Westmorland and Furness Council. This initiative is available to children and young people who are eligible for home to school transport. Priority is currently being given to those transitioning to post 16 education to help them prepare for adulthood.
This is a new offer of 1:1 travel training to support young people to travel independently to school or college. Our travel trainer will work with young people to find out what help they need. They will go with the person on some journeys until they are confident on their own.
This is a 'real time' tailored programme of focussed support expected to take around 6-8 weeks to complete.
Training can be one-to-one, in groups or in the classroom. The training gives advice on all the events young people might find on their journeys.
It covers all areas of a journey, including:
➡️Personal and road safety awareness,
➡️Journey planning and preparation (what to take with you, what the weather might be like,)
➡️Leaving the home safely (locking the door)
➡️How to cope with an emergency or unexpected circumstances (cancelled trains, missed stops).
➡️Using technology like travel cards and mobile phones.
You can email or call the Independent Travel Training team for more information: ITT@westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk or Joanna Clark on 07768 99692. ... See MoreSee Less
