Eden Education Annual Report 2023-2024
Eden Education has undergone significant changes in its school structure following the COVID-19 pandemic. We now operate from a new building and have become more supportive within the educational play sector.
For financial reasons, Eden Education now runs educational classes daily through the use of play centres. These play centres offer a great backdrop for parents to be supported with educational resources such as child-led learning provisions with Blaenau Gwent County Council and the local community hubs.
Children and parents are encouraged to bring their children to activity classes called "Little Pips." These classes promote child dexterity, collaborative learning with other children, and hand-eye coordination.
Eden Education has developed a strong community feel, linked with local churches and food agencies to support families within Blaenau Gwent.
Looking ahead, we have embarked on an exciting building project to create a sensory room for all children. This room will include full sensory support such as light, sound, smell, and touch. We are pleased with this project and know it will be used extensively by the local authority.
Eden also plans to expand by reintroducing the arts project in schools, focusing on music and creativity in the classroom. We aim to employ individuals to get this project off the ground, with a planned start in Autumn 2025.
We are pleased with the progress we have made as a charity and the impact we are having within the local authority, especially our links with Tussle Trust and other supportive agencies.
Many thanks, Eden Trustees
