Tower Hamlets healthy borough programme

The Tower Hamlets healthy borough programme is about making it easier for children and families to be more physically active and eat more healthily wherever they live, work, travel, play or learn, while improving the local environment.

The programme aims to help everyone to maintain a healthy weight throughout their lives, which will reduce the risk of diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

The healthy borough programme brings together NHS Tower Hamlets, the council, voluntary and community organisations, the private sector and local people. 

Tower Hamlets is the only London borough to be awarded ‘healthy town’ status and there are eight other ‘healthy towns’ nationally.   It is part of the Government’s national Change4Life initiative.
