Local funding decisions are made at Community Voting Days where residents and small community and voluntary organisations pitch their project ideas in a Dragon's Den style event. Residents vote for the projects they wish to see take place in their community. 

This information pack (the 1st of it's kind) contains answers to frequently asked questions about Tower Hamlets Together and its partners. We hope you find it helpful. We are so excited to showcase why Tower Hamlets is such a great place to work, with plenty of career opportunities across our seven organisations.

A health and wellbeing initiative funded by Tower Hamlets council and NHS.

The idea behind this Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) Good Practice Guide is to create an accessible but detailed guide to conducting effective Equality Impact Assessments (EqIAs) for local authorities, the voluntary and community sector (VCS) and residents, with a view to it also being helpful for National Health Service (NHS) and other public service staff.

To co-produce service changes you need to involve the people who use the service. This guidance aims to help you think how to promote involvement in the co-production. 

In Tower Hamlets co-production will give local people an opportunity both to design services as an equal partner with the council and to potentially play roles in delivering the services that they have designed.

Tower Hamlets is celebrated for its rich history and diversity, however, in the shadow of this diversity are stark inequalities that significantly impact the health and well-being of residents.

The Improving Equity Programme is a collaborative initiative that aims to tackle the health and social inequalities in Tower Hamlets. It provides funding, training and support to local projects using Quality Improvement (QI) methods to address complex and systemic issues affecting the wellbeing of the community.

This strategy aims to ensure that the critical role of carers is acknowledged and respected - and that people’s needs as carers are recognised and met. The strategy has been designed and co-produced by carers and staff. We are committed to involving carers in our work, alongside the people who use our services and others with lived experience in our communities, including our staff.

This directory aims to support professionals working with children, young people and their families to connect them to a range of services that support health and wellbeing, appropriate for their own individual needs.

‘Our Commitment to Carers 2024-27’ has been developed with unpaid carers alongside contributions from Tower Hamlets Together partners, and outlines what we plan to do over the next three years to help provide this support.
