Our area
Our area includes Barking & Dagenham, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.
East and North East London is the most exciting part of London: it is the site of the largest regeneration programme in Europe, including the planning and construction projects linked to the Thames Gateway, the Olympics, the extension of the M11- Cambridge corridor, Crossrail, the extension of the DLR, and the new international terminal for Eurostar at Stratford.
Yet the area is marked by deprivation: Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Haringey, Barking & Dagenham and Waltham Forest are all within the 28% most deprived areas in the country, and parts of Redbridge and Havering experience similar levels but unrecognised levels.
East London Community Foundation bases its support for community initiatives on local knowledge, consultation and research on the issues facing local people and about local groups delivering services directly. We work in partnership with private, public and voluntary and community sector partners to ensure that together we can make the benefits of regeneration and change a reality for all in our communities, and we ask you to join us in doing so.
We help communities in London, particularly those in North East London, in Barking & Dagenham, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.
