The mission of our client is to invest in the local community in Aberfeldy, Tower Hamlet, backing local people to lead on exciting ways to make it a better place to live. The area is going through big changes, and they want to make sure that everyone in Aberfeldy can benefit from these. They want regeneration to bring real wins for the community, rather than passing people by. They believe the only way they can achieve this is by working together as a community to share ideas, skills and talents and take advantage of opportunities for them all to gain from.
Their vision is to build a strong and confident community. They have the following priorities:
• People: They will invest in their people to become active in local life, taking the lead on activities and events that bring people together and build community spirit. They will invest in their young people to have a brighter future

Areas were chosen because they were recognised as localities of need that had missed out on funding over many years. What makes them different to many other community programmes is that all decisions on how to invest this money are made directly by local people.
Purpose of the role:
