A charity that provides community services to both adults and children with learning difficulties has been given a £1,000 boost.
Central Co-op announced that George James Funeral Directors in March has awarded the cash to Eddie’s through Central Co-op’s Community Dividend Fund.
This funding has enabled Eddie’s to purchase four tablets and headphones, significantly enhancing the educational experience and opportunities for individuals with learning disabilities supported by the charitable organisation.
Eddie’s, an award-winning charity based in March, has a vision to create a world where people with learning disabilities are valued equally, listened to, and included.
As an operating division of The Edmund Trust, Eddie’s plays a crucial role in providing community services and support to children, young people, and adults with learning disabilities and their families across Cambridgeshire.
The newly acquired tablets and headphones will be utilised in Eddie’s educational and community-based activities, fostering increased confidence, more effective social inclusion, improved skills, and reduced financial hardship for their students.
The technology will provide students with access to a wealth of resources, enabling them to pursue their interests, learn new skills, and connect with others.
Eddie’s offers a wide range of services tailored to the needs of individuals with learning disabilities, as well as their families and carers. These services include practical support and a variety of exciting opportunities designed to help individuals achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives.
George James Funeral Directors, a part of Central Co-op, is proud to support Eddie’s in their mission to promote equality and inclusion for people with learning disabilities.
A spokesperson said: “This contribution is a testament to Central Co-op’s commitment to community engagement and support for local organisations that make a real difference in people’s lives.”
