Poverty Review

Tower Hamlets Council has completed a poverty review to find out what more needs to be done to support our most vulnerable residents against the backdrop of the pandemic.  

Councillor Mufeedah Bustin, Cabinet Member for Social Inclusion, led the review.  

The review was informed by a series of community workshops led by Toynbee Hall.

A group of residents, and partners provided expert advice to the review team.
