Community youth activities
Eden's Youth Facilities have continued to be provided for both Boys and Girls. Indoor sports such as Table tennis, Snooker and other table top games. Outdoor sports are provided in local parks as we do not have the space to offer within the premise. We organise local football tournaments with local businesses and organisations where suitable facilities are hired out to house the tournament.
The volunteers organise various activities through-out the year. A day trip was organised to Barry Islands, where Parents were invited to travel along with their children. We intend to organise more trips such as this in the future.
Adult Activities
Adult services at Eden Foundation are a very important item, we recognise this and provide educational classes where Adults can learn the basics of their religion and improve their English in relation to speaking and listening.
Mid-week sisters' coffee mornings are also continual, providing very much space for women from the community to come to have a chat and make new friends.
Spiritual activities
Our centre provides a service for its community by holding weekly Friday prayers. We offer a late Friday prayer as requested by some of the elder pupils as they find it difficult to leave school or college to attend a mosque during school hours. We offer special prayers in the Holy month of Ramadhan for both males and females. The values and ethos we share in philanthropic acts are emphasised through the services we provide and value.
Children's Islamic education
With the continuation of Eden Library; it has grown, and more and more children are using the facility. We understand that reading and comprehension is an important stage in child development and therefore this opportunity was made available.
We hold monthly assemblies with the students and invite their parents to attend. Students who have achieved well in a specific month will receive a certificate. We invite speakers from different backgrounds and professions to speak to the students.
We held an end-of-year assembly to congratulate all our students that attend Eden Foundation. On the day there were various roles played by groups of students. Awards and prizes were given out to numerous students for various results and achievements throughout the year.
We invite Parents and the local community to come and celebrate this day together. We have several volunteers and local businesses to support the event.
Serious Incidents
The Trustees have no serious incident to report.
Impact of Covid-19
The challenges we face are similar to other small charities. The increased cost of energy and day-to-day has significantly increased.
To conclude, the charity has started renovation works to improve much needed facilities for its service users.
