We are proud to support Mental Health Awareness Week by raising awareness of local mental health charities and promoting the importance of wellbeing, community support and physical activity.

Working in partnership with Heart of Bucks, we are shining a spotlight on four incredible charities making a positive difference to mental health and wellbeing across Buckinghamshire and beyond:

💚 Wycombe Mind

💚 Sport In Mind

💚 Mind Over Mountains

💚 Sound and Song CIC

These organisations provide essential mental health support services, helping individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, emotional distress and social isolation through community programmes, wellbeing initiatives and inclusive support networks.

Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing in Buckinghamshire

At Eden, we are committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our shoppers, retailers and Eden team members, while continuing to champion local charities and community causes that make a real impact.

In 2025, thanks to the generosity of our shoppers, retailers and wider community, we raised funds for Heart of Bucks which helped support important local charities and wellbeing initiatives across Buckinghamshire.

Promoting Positive Mental Health Through Movement

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, we have also partnered with Anytime Fitness to highlight the important connection between physical movement, exercise and positive mental wellbeing.

Research continues to show the benefits physical activity can have on reducing stress, improving mood and supporting overall mental health, and we are encouraging our community to prioritise movement and self-care.

We are running a Mental Health Awareness Week social media competition from 12th–18th May across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

One lucky winner will receive 5 personal training sessions with Anytime Fitness.

To enter, simply head to your preferred Eden social media channel and follow the competition instructions.

Sport In Mind is transforming mental health through the power of sport and physical activity.

The charity delivers free and inclusive sports sessions designed to help young people improve their mental wellbeing, build resilience, develop confidence and create positive social connections. Through movement and exercise, Sport In Mind empowers participants to develop healthy habits that support long-term mental health.

Their work highlights the important connection between physical activity and emotional wellbeing, helping young people thrive both mentally and physically.

Mind Over Mountains

Mind Over Mountains is an award-winning charity that combines nature, mindfulness and professional mental health support to help individuals overcome mental health challenges.

Their specialist wellbeing walks and retreats bring together guided hill-walking, mindfulness sessions and access to experienced coaches and counsellors in calming outdoor environments.

The charity supports people experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and diagnosed mental illness, providing safe and supportive experiences that encourage recovery and resilience.

Sound and Song CIC

Sound and Song CIC supports women’s mental health through evidence-based singing and creative wellbeing programmes.

Focused on reducing social isolation and improving confidence and emotional wellbeing, the organisation uses the proven benefits of group singing to support women facing mental health challenges. Research shows that singing together can boost oxytocin and endorphin levels while reducing cortisol, creating measurable improvements in wellbeing.

Their flagship “Sound and Song for Mums” programme is offered free of charge to support maternal mental health, while additional workshops and creative mentorship programmes help fund their wider community work and ensure services remain accessible to those who need them most.
