Service Manager, Community Engagement

Delivered across the three richly diverse London boroughs of Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Newham our Community Engagement programmecurrently includes: 

• Exercise classes to help maintain and develop fitness, strength and mobility to prevent falls and promote wellbeing (e.g through the provision of chair-based yoga and walking groups) in our centres and at outreach settings. 

• Social activities and events giving older people the opportunity to meet and connect in our centres and in outreach settings. 

• Health talks and learning events providing older people with the information ad knowledge they need to remain healthy and independent. 

• Lunch clubs providing healthy, warm and affordable meals as well as social connection. 

• Digital inclusion supporting older people using digital devices and getting online. 

We are able to demonstrate meaningful impact with 97% of people who use our services telling us that they feel better connected to their community and 96% stating that they are maintaining a good level of physical independence as a result of the programmes we deliver.
