Our Objective


The overall objective of

SocietyLinks is to build the capacity of residents on the local estates in

Tower Hamlets and create a stronger, more vibrant community that all residents feel a part of and have a sense of ownership towards. We want to help individuals take part in activities, engage in training and work, and grasp opportunities with confidence. We have separate objectives for the different groups that we work with, and we aim to build networks within and between these

groups, to create a supportive environment that will sustain personal development for residents. 


“I have recently been elected Chair of SocietyLinks Tower Hamlets, and I accepted graciously, having known and worked with the organisation since it was founded, I know that they have a real desire to work in the community and ensure that everyone has an opportunity to develop and grow. The partnerships and real engagement with the community are very impressive and must not be taken lightly. To get the whole community together takes, time, patience and dedication.”

Chairperson, Sharon Barbour

“One of our main focuses this year has been on improving health, be it physical, mental or social wellbeing, with projects for all ages focusing on creating opportunities and spaces for individuals to speak to, spend time with, and socialise with others. This helped to tackle the rising issues of isolation and loneliness as well as conditions related to unhealthy lifestyles."
