Happy St George's Day to our staff, patients and members of our communities who are celebrating today 🎉

23/04/2026

We’re proud to celebrate the opening of our new community café at the Old Goodmayes Hospital, bringing colleagues together while supporting something bigger.

Alongside the celebrations, staff helped raise £200 for the NELFT NHS Charity through a prize draw and guessing challenge. Every pound raised goes towards making a real difference, supporting patients, service users, and their families, especially during difficult times. Read more: https://zurl.co/U2JJ5
