We’re continuing to do things differently: see how we’ve delivered social value in 2023-24

06/09/2024

Our Communities and Neighbourhoods team is excited to share all the ways we’ve supported our community in the last year!

Our Communities and Neighbourhoods (CaN) team has put together its social value report highlighting the important work in the community in the last financial year. We do more than just build homes. We are focused on offering services and creating spaces that help residents to thrive. We want to showcase this.

Some key things that our We do things differently report shows is:

  • 224 people have managed to find employment through the Hive, our employment and training service. The Hive, which is Ofsted, rated ‘outstanding’ continues to find new and effective ways to help people in our community find employment
  • 2,911 young people have engaged with our Spotlight services, making a positive impact on youth in Tower Hamlets through our dedicated youth service
  • over 2,000 residents were supported by our Community Development and Wellbeing team through the cost of living crisis and beyond
