Mental Health Awareness Week takes place from 11–17 May 2026, and this year’s focus is on taking action to support good mental health.

Congratulations to Bedford Mental Health Crisis Line colleague, Carla Spencer, and Bedfordshire Mum, Hannah Stevens, who ran a half marathon on Bank Holiday Monday. The starting pistol was fired by Darth Vader. Well ... it was May-the-fourth!

Every year, people around the country use Dying Matters Awareness Week as a moment to encourage all communities to get talking in whatever way, shape or form works for them. This year’s theme will focus on 'Let's talk about Death and Dying'.

The new-look Recovery College for east London is inviting members of the community to attend events and have their say in how it will run.

At a time of cost pressures when everyone has to tighten their belts, the generosity of ELFT staff who have donated the small change in their monthly pay has resulted in us getting an award!

Carla Spencer is a familiar voice to many, answering the mental health crisis line at Florence Ball House in Bedford. Behind the scenes, she has been pounding the streets, getting fitter and faster for the Milton Keynes Half Marathon on 4 May 2026.
