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’.

Once cooked and cooled , guided them to make butter icing and add to a piping bag and create swirls on top, finished of with an edible rice paper Comic Relief emoji , ready to go on sale at Bake4EDEN and Cafe4EDEN. Well done Chloe, Brad and Jake!#comicrelief2025 ... See MoreSee Less

Wonderful cakes and pies and fabulous staff! I highly recommend Bake4Eden.

Had your chocolate cake at our work today, absolutely stunning. I’m not good with cakes that are too sweet and this was just perfect.

Thank you so much for your hospitality yesterday. it was absolutely wonderful. I was delighted with the traybakes that I ordered and also the fact that you kindly supply refreshments at no extra cost. It was such a lovely gesture that meant so much to both myself and the people on the course.

The whole day was a huge success and I do feel that the comfort, warmth, and space in the training room played a large part in this. Everyone commented on the room, layout and pleasant atmosphere they were working in.

I look forward to returning in the New Year!

Fabulous training room, well equipped, comfortable and the best selection of teas in Cumbria, plus delicious home-made tray bakes, thank you!

Nutshell Training

Great venue, really thoughtful touches

Fabulous breakfast of ciabatta roll with bacon (the bacon was cooked to perfection) Fabulous choice of teapigs to choose from, but for me the best part by far was the use of local made pottery to serve the food and drinks (all of which you can buy from Brougham Hall pottery should you wish to treat yourself) Cafe 4Eden are driven by a view to helping local community – I’d highly recommend dropping in for stone soup or a cuppa. It was our first visit under the new ownership (and Kim’s footsteps are hard to fill) but it’s a 10/10 from us – we’ll definitely be back ?

Thank you all for the excellent work in my garden. I’m very impressed with your outstanding work
