CEDE FOUNDATION

About CEDE FOUNDATION

We are a community-led charity tackling poverty at its root by empowering people and communities to overcome barriers and build sustainable futures. We support children, young people, adults, older people and families who experience multiple deprivation such as low income, unemployment, isolation, migration and disability. Through early intervention, tailored support and community-driven activities, we help people build resilience, develop skills and gain independence. Our work focuses on: Advancing education and training so people gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to reach their potential. Preventing and relieving hardship, sickness and distress through practical support, guidance and community-based programmes. Promoting physical and mental wellbeing, helping people to live healthy, connected and fulfilling lives. Championing equality, human rights and diversity so everyone feels valued, respected and included. Supporting young people with mentoring, advice and opportunities that build life skills, confidence and independence. Advancing environmental protection and sustainability by engaging communities in greener and more resilient ways of living. We are proud to be community-led and people-focused, working in partnership with schools, local authorities, funders, national organisations and neighbourhood groups. Each programme we deliver is shaped by local voices and designed to meet real community needs. Guided by our values of empowerment, inclusion, collaboration, innovation and accountability, we’re building stronger, fairer and more connected communities where everyone can thrive.
