Our first issue showcases bold, community-led action in Tower Hamlets — from canalboat restoration and refugee entrepreneurs to youth empowerment and urban honey harvesting. These are real stories of people building futures against the odds.
Proceeds from this issue helped fund grassroots projects featured inside — including mental health support groups, youth-led singing sessions, and new small businesses.
Inside this issue:
Turning skills from prison into a business restoring boats for social good
A course helping adults improve wellbeing through creativity and connection
A young girl brings young people together through singing sessions
Dodgeball sessions for dads and children to reconnect
A recovery-focused project using reclaimed timber and urban gardening
A safe weekly space for male carers and young kids to build trust and bond
