Supporting you to live a healthier life
The Communities Keeping Well Programme is working with eight communities in Tower Hamlets to prevent Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and lung diseases. Over two years, residents will come together through a series of community events to co-design and lead activities for a healthier life.
Communities Keeping Well (CKW) projects
This year CKW has funded 65 resident and voluntary sector (VCS) led projects. These projects were selected by communities following Community Voting Days in each neighbourhood in December 2024 and January 2025. To find out more about our resident-led neighbourhood projects, click on the programme activities below.
Co-production
As well as making these eight neighbourhoods healthier places to live, Communities Keeping Well is an opportunity for residents to get their voices heard on health and community life, become health champions, run their own projects and become community researchers.
Partnerships
Communities Keeping Well is a partnership between residents, GPs, Public Health, local voluntary sector organisations working together with local communities. A full list of our community partners is available on our locality pages.
Funding for Residents
Local funding decisions are made at Community Voting Days where residents and small community and voluntary organisations pitch their project ideas in a Dragon's Den style event. Residents vote for the projects they wish to see take place in their community.
Volunteering opportunities
There are many different volunteering opportunities available to residents and others through the programme. For example, supporting community projects, becoming a health and wellbeing champion, helping out at events, being a community researcher, being on advisory groups.
