Building Strong Foundations for Children & Young People
Founded in 2001 by the Ennis-Cole family, Shiva Trust Charity is a family-run charity dedicated to educating, empowering and supporting children and young people to build strong foundations for life.
Our work focuses on helping young people develop the knowledge, skills and inner resources they need to support their mental health and wellbeing, build confidence and resilience, experience greater happiness, and reach their individual potential.
We believe that when children are given the right foundations early in life, they are better equipped to understand themselves, navigate challenges and build positive futures.
How We Create Change
We bring our mission to life through:
- Research & Evidence – developing and evaluating approaches that strengthen our understanding of children’s mental health, wellbeing and development.
- Vidya Kids™ Programmes – providing courses, classes, educational resources and practical tools designed to support children and young people at different stages of development.
- Schools Outreach – working with schools and educators to bring preventative wellbeing education directly into children’s learning environments.
- Community Outreach – working alongside families, volunteers, organisations and communities to make education and wellbeing support more accessible.
Our Purpose
Strong foundations. Stronger young people. Brighter futures.
Through education, prevention and community collaboration, we want every child and young person to have the opportunity to understand themselves, care for their wellbeing and realise their potential.
