The Edmund Trust is a distinguished charity that extends its services to individuals with learning disabilities and autism across the East of England. With a history spanning over seven decades, the charity is committed to providing comprehensive and person-centred support. This is achieved through a variety of initiatives including supported living schemes, residential care, domiciliary care teams, and short break respite services. The Trust also provides emergency respite during times of crisis, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of its beneficiaries.

The Trust's employees are equally valued. This is evident in the plethora of initiatives designed to support their wellbeing. The Trust's wellbeing champion scheme is just one example. Regular welfare meetings are held to review support for employees dealing with mental health issues, and an Employee Assistance Programme offers day-to-day support. In addition to this, the HR Manager publishes a wellbeing newsletter discussing topics such as Menopause and Andropause, Financial wellbeing, and even national awareness days.

Furthermore, The Edmund Trust believes in acknowledging the valuable contributions of its staff. An annual awards night is held to celebrate the hard work of support workers, with the theme of 'royalty' to underscore their significance. The Trust has also developed a Team and Leadership Promise, which is discussed in team meetings, and a transparent structure allows all staff to communicate directly with the CEO or Senior Management Team. These initiatives, along with many others, demonstrate The Edmund Trust's commitment to its employees and those it serves.
