We have been fortunate to benefit from the epic fundraising achievement of Captain Tom Moore who did a sponsored walk to raise money. As a resident of Bedfordshire, he wanted to ensure that local health care staff benefited from his efforts so he made a donation of £5,000 to ELFT’s Charitable Fund. Anyone can make a donation to the ELFT Charitable Fund. Simply visit:

Any member of staff can apply for a Charitable Fund grant to support a staff or service user initiative. Novel, imaginative and alternative approaches are especially welcome where they bring benefits to the workforce or local community. Charitable Funds do not replace NHS funding, they allow us to do something different, trial new ways, work with people’s creativity to improve wellbeing so donations are warmly encouraged.
