PARTNERSHIPS
We are working in partnership with charities across Wales, the South West of England as well as further afield to help improve the lives of communities. By embracing a shared sense of community and building relationships with our chosen charities, we aim to support organisations that really make a difference and help those in need.
In the short time since the Foundation was launched, we have partnered with Wales homelessness charity, The Wallich and leading children’s charity, Compassion UK. We are also looking to spread our support as much as we can through the award of local grants.

HOMEBUILDER PLEDGES TO HELP CHILDREN FLOURISH WITH SUPPORT FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROJECT
FIVE schools across South Wales are set to benefit from a project to help develop mental and emotional wellbeing thanks to support from the Edenstone Foundation. Partnering with the Proton Foundation, the Edenstone Foundation, has pledged a £5,000 grant to The Flourish Project. The Flourish Project is a programme designed to equip young people with the tools to develop healthy self-esteem, mental and emotional well-being. The funding will be shared between Allway Primary School, Ponthir Church in Wales School and Tredegar Park Primary School in Newport and Libanus Primary School and Blackwood Primary School in Blackwood. Flourish project manager Phil Mann explained: “We launched the Flourish Programme in 2017 and have already helped around 1,000 young people develop a healthy self-esteem, mental and emotional well-being. There’s an increasing awareness of mental health and the importance of developing a healthy mindset, particularly in the wake of the pandemic. “With the support of the Edenstone Foundation we will be able to reach more young people, helping them learn to create helpful thinking pattern and 'growth' mindsets, and to begin to recognise and set goals for the future.” The Flourish Programme is targeted at nine to 16-year-olds and usually runs over eight one-hour sessions. Topics covered include: exploring how beliefs are formed, how they can affect and shape us; the effects of social media on mental health, and encouraging young people to develop healthy online habits; learning how to develop healthy self-talk and begin to put it into practice; understanding the importance of setting goals and the positive effect it has on our mindsets. The Proton Foundation has reported the following improvements from those who have completed the Flourish Programme: 28.73%
