Rosie and the volunteers there are working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and improve care through gardening and horticulture. Any produce grown goes to those that want it in the local community. A true clinic to fork site!

On the 75th birthday of the NHS, at Green ELFT we want to celebrate the people that still make it the greatest healthcare organisation. People like Rosie and all the volunteers at Whichellos Wharf community gardening project are what make it such an amazing place @NHS_ELFT

Newham Centre for Mental Health recently launched a pilot project on reusable sharps & medicinal waste containers with @SharpsmartUK.

We're excited for this clinical carbon reduction by phasing out of single use containers which were incinerated for energy. #sustainability

ELFT has been contracting @reyooz to reduce our footprint in furniture disposal through circular economy.
We estimate to have saved 14,634 kg from landfill & incineration= 55,848 kg carbon.

Today we are reminded of the patriarchal violence that the fossil fuel system imposes on far too many of us.

The only system we can rely on is our planet's ecosystems 💚

A great example of how the team at ELFT are constantly working to improve therapy, access to green spaces for service users and improving our grounds and gardens to benefit wildlife. Great work Thomas and thanks Aira! @elft

[Green ELFT @Green_ELFT]

Is this still right in 2023? Does this send the right message on air quality in our capital? At ELFT we have committed to reducing our localised pollution and this seems to fly in the face of these commitments. There must be another way to celebrate the new year.

A week ago, we put on the greatest New Year’s Eve fireworks display London has ever seen. Relive the night’s dazzling show 👇🏽
