Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Edens Trust supported 17 young adults, aged between 18 and 30, during the period of 2022 and 2022. EET (Education, Employment, Training) is a protective factor, especially for those who have experienced grief. 100% of the beneficiaries either remained in or started employment or training; two of whom graduated from universities, because of the 1:1 and group therapy/coaching sessions Edens Trust provided. Supporting our beneficiaries to remain in EET also has a positive impact on their direct family and support network, along with the economic benefits to society and reducing the pressure on our benefit system. Through the various carefully selected events, linked to grief support, such asThe Ever After Garden ,Edens Trust was able to allow parents and sibling groups to come together and support each other through their grief. This strengthened their relationship, connectedness, and reduced feelings of isolation. All of which increased grit, resilience and emotional intelligence in our beneficiaries. Several of our beneficiaries have lost their child/sibling to acts of suicide and so feeling seen, heard, and supported has made a significant positive impact on their well-being and purpose. We feel Edens Trust support has had a direct impact on reducing the burden on the NHS’s mental health provisions, such as CAMHS, as Edens Trust has been able to offer a bereavement service tailored to the needs of the beneficiaries. Edens Trust has also been able to provide some of its beneficiaries the opportunity to become trained mentors to care experienced children, who too have experienced loss. This provided our mentors to use their live experience to support others. One of our beneficiaries has taken up running half and full marathons, due to the bereavement support he experienced and is now committed to run a full marathon to raise money for Edens Trust. This act of giving back demonstrates the impact Edens Trust has had on this young adult,

who lost both his mother and brother.
