Background information
In recent years, East London NHS Foundation Trust has worked to nurture and grow its partnerships work with Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations across its footprint. Primarily we believe that in doing so, we will better connect with our local communities, reduce inequalities of access, experience and outcomes, and collectively enable improved quality of life for people living in local communities.
A core principle of transformation as set out in the Community Mental Health Framework and NHS Long Term Plan is that these partnerships should be supported by new investment.
This is also a key priority of the trust’s strategy and must be part of the trust’s obligations as a local ‘anchor institution’ at a time when many of our local VCSE services are at direct risk of closing or losing capacity that currently provides support for mental health service users.
ELFT, as the lead provider of the North Central and East London CAMHS Provider Collaborative (NCEL), is committed to ensuring that this vison for VCSE inclusion is a key part of the NCEL Provider Collaborative investment planning.
