The Laurence Trust: Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2026

Eating Disorders are serious, yet often silent, and devastating psychological conditions. They can affect anyone, male or female, young or old. But help is available, don’t suffer alone, talk to someone.

The Laurence Trust offers a hub of online information to support those with eating disorders and provide insight and guidance for their loved ones through their confidential information line.

Life is brighter when you talk about mental health. If you, or someone you love, is living with an eating disorder, you can talk to The Laurence Trust.

Call 07510 371335 6pm-9pm 7 days a week, or contact them anonymously through their website at www.thelaurencetrust.co.uk/contact

Altnagelvin Hospital’s Multi-Storey Car-Park (located near the Hospital’s North Wing) will be closed for the next five *weekends only* commencing tomorrow (Friday 13th February), to complete necessary upgrade and lighting works.

Entrance to the Car-Park will be closed from 4.00pm each Friday and will reopen Sunday evening.

The Exit will remain opened to allow for patients, visitors and staff to leave if they were already parked before the closure on the Fridays.

Drivers are asked to use alternative car parking spaces on the site during these weekends. The essential works have been planned for weekend periods when the car parks are quieter and the volume of traffic onsite is significantly less and to minimise any impact to patients, visitors and staff.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your continued cooperation.
