Partners

ELFT

East London Foundation Trust (ELFT) ELFT provides a wide range of community and inpatient services to children, young people, adults of working age, older adults and forensic services to the city of London, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets , Bedfordshire and Luton.

ELFT is a key partner for Working Well in Tower Hamlets as many of our staff are co-located in their mental health recovery teams. Co-location enables us to work alongside mental health professionals to support people with mental health issues return to work in a way that is in line with the client’s recovery goals. We also depend on these mental health professionals to refer clients to all of our services.

The National Lottery Community Fund

Every year the National Lottery gives out millions of pounds from the UK’s National Lottery community fund to good causes, with money going to community groups and health, education and environment projects.

Mental Health Employment Partnership

Mental Health and Employment Partnership was set up in 2015 to drive a large-scale expansion of high-quality supported employment programmes for people with mental health issues and other groups with health conditions and disabilities. It does this by combining national and local outcomes-based funding to scale up evidence-based services. It is supported by a pool of socially-motivated investment capital from Big Issue Invest, which allows us to offer flexible, lower-risk contracts to providers.

Tower Hamlets Council

The council is keen to encourage and support innovation in the sector and acknowledged that this would require some funding to enable the sector to pilot new initiatives and approaches to service delivery and support.

Trust for London

Trust for London is an independent charitable foundation. They aim to tackle poverty and inequality in London and do this by funding voluntary and charity groups. Currently they make grants totalling around £10 million a year and at any one time we are supporting up to 300 organisations; funding independent research; and providing knowledge and expertise on London’s social issues to policymakers and journalists.

NHS North East London Commissioning Group

The commissioning group is responsible for commissioning health and care services for the people of Tower Hamlets and making sure these services meet the needs of local people.
