Bedfordshire Open Door is celebrating being one of the 16 inspiring and diverse community projects from Bedfordshire to be awarded funding from the East London Foundation Trust (ELFt)  The programme was launched to fund work led by the voluntary sector aimed at reaching communities who experience inequalities in access, experience and outcomes in mental health care.

Dr Mohit Venkataram, Director of ELFt, said: “Applications through the grants programme have helped shine a light on incredible organisations and people already doing amazing work to help others – and how they want to do even more.  Each of our Voluntary sector partners demonstrate what a phenomenally important role they play in keeping our communities safe especially when inequalities have shown the impact the pandemic has had on our vulnerable communities.”
