about us

Our famous first President

Harry Edwards has always been a highly significant figure throughout the life of The Healing Trust, being invited to become our inaugural President and ‘Member No 1’ of the National Federation of Spiritual Healers as we were then called.

He was an internationally renowned Healer, gave Healing demonstrations to thousands, and authored several books on Spiritual Healing.

Nowadays he’d be called an ‘activist’ as he worked tirelessly both as a Healer, and as a public figure raising awareness of Healing. He had the vision of Healing becoming a significant component of public healthcare and always intended Healers and Doctors to work together.

1974

Worldwide growth creates change

By 1974 the rapid growth of overseas membership inspired the NFSH President to create The World Federation of Healing. NFSH wanted to retain its national identity separately but readily sponsored WFH’s inaugural conference in London. Until 1976 there had been 2 levels of NFSH membership: Class A (affiliated County based groups) and Class B (individual members registered with NFSH head office). When it was later decided to focus exclusively on individual membership, some of the Class A groups opted to remain intact and formed the The British Alliance of Healing Associations.

1960

Healers permitted to work in Hospitals

A major turning point came for NFSH in 1960, when Chairman Gordon Turner persuaded the medical authorities to allow Spiritual Healers to give Healing in hospitals, at patients' request.

1954

Birth of the National Federation of Spiritual Healers

The Healing Trust began life in 1954 as The National Federation of Spiritual Healers (NFSH) on the initiative of John Britnell. Harry Edwards, the nationally renowned Healer, was recorded as Member No 1 and its first President, with the Charity’s office being based at his home in Surrey.
