The strength of our communities affects all aspects of our life, from our health and wellbeing to our local economy and environment. We are here to create opportunities for you, the community and local business. Everything we do is aimed at creating opportunity. We believe that resident empowerment is more than “getting involved”; it’s working together with people to help them get to where they want to go. We have a range of volunteering and personal development options throughout our neighbourhoods; from working with young people to maintaining our green spaces, there is something for everyone. We work with a wide range of partners to provide advice and support - from financial, digital, physical or emotional. We work holistically to build trust in the neighbourhoods we serve, working closely with resident groups and schools. Many staff are also residents, and we take pride in our local area and its fantastic diversity. We help keep Poplar safe and green through our commitment to our neighbourhoods and residents. We provide welcoming local centres home to a huge range of clubs and activities. We also run a whole host of events and activities across Poplar throughout the year, giving locals something new and bringing people from across London and beyond to the area.

🖤 Throughout October, we're celebrating Black History Month and this year's theme, Honouring Our Communities.

Every community is shaped by the people who live in it, the stories they carry and the connections they build. This month, we're highlighting the story of Lisa, a lifelong East Londoner whose experiences show the power of community, connection and belonging.

We'll also be sharing Black History Month events taking place across Tower Hamlets, with opportunities to learn, celebrate and connect throughout October🎉

Have you tested your boiler yet? 🔥

As the weather starts to cool down, now is the perfect time to make sure your boiler is ready for winter.

That's why we're supporting National Test Your Boiler Day today with our partners at Sureserve.

A quick check today could help identify any issues before the busy winter period.
Simply:
🔥 Turn your heating on
🌡️ Check your radiators warm up evenly
🔍 Look out for unusual noises or error messages

The check only takes a few minutes and could help keep your home warm and comfortable throughout winter. If you spot anything unusual, please get in touch. Call us on 0800 035 1991 or email [email protected] and we'll help get things sorted.

Once you've completed your check, let Sureserve know and claim a £5 fuel voucher.

💙 "It's a life-changing alteration."

That's how John described his kitchen makeover.

The extra workspace and storage have helped him get back to baking, and he's looking forward to welcoming friends and family round again 🍰🏡

Working with Avenue Property, we replaced John's 20-year-old kitchen to make it safer, brighter and more practical. The improvements included new cupboards, worktops, taps, flooring, electrics and redecoration throughout 👏

🏠 Think your home could benefit from repairs, replacements or improvements? Book a free Property MOT and we'll give your home a full health check to identify any work that may be needed.

A routine visit became something much more when Shahina Khanam, our Neighbourhoods Manager, met with Ms Robinson at her home.

During the visit, Shahina learned that Ms Robinson had been sleeping on her sofa after her bed broke and she couldn't afford to replace it. She also shared that she’d been facing financial pressures.

Recognising that additional support was needed, Shahina took action and worked with Shahjahan Miah, our Welfare Benefits Advisor, to connect Ms Robinson with the help she needed.

Together they:
🛏️ Arranged for a new bed frame, mattress and sofa to be delivered
💷 Provided benefits advice and support
🏠 Secured additional help through the Tower Hamlets Council Resident Support Scheme
✅ Helped Ms Robinson to submit a new benefits application
