“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."
