On 30 September 2026, the Arts Therapy team in Tower Hamlets created a special afternoon event for inpatients at the Tower Hamlets Centre for Mental Health, supported by the ELFT Charity

A celebration event has been held to mark 20 years of NHS Talking Therapies in Newham, one of the first places in the country to offer the service when it was introduced in 2006.

The Trust is delighted to announce that Day Njovana has been appointed as ELFT's substantive Chief Operating Officer (COO), following an external recruitment process.

The Trust has received £25 million in funding from the Department of Health and Social Care to renovate the John Howard Centre in Hackney.

The Trust is supporting World Suicide Prevention Day by joining organisations around the world as we aim to break the stigma associated with mental health problems.

The main telephone lines at Coral Ward are currently down, please use the alternative number below in the meantime.

The ELFT Charity has been able to support two walking groups for young people in Bedfordshire by providing funds for transport, fruit, hot drinks and cold drinks.

The Pathways App Team of occupational therapists and service users at the John Howard Centre have been shortlisted at the Chief Allied Health Professions Officer Awards.

Better community-based support in Newham for those leaving hospital will mean that Fothergill Ward in East Ham Care Centre will close to new patients at the end of September.

ELFT has forged a partnership with AccessAble to provide detailed access information across our buildings and services, helping patients, visitors and staff plan their visits with greater confidence.
