Congratulations and thank you to all of the nominees for your your invauable contributions to our community.
We are investing in a wide range of services to ensure all women residents are supported to thrive, including by:

– Opening the Nari Centre, to provide a safe environment where women and girls can access services, activities and events.
– Opening the borough’s first dedicated youth centre for girls
– We introduced free swimming for all women and girls aged 16+ last year, with 18,000 women and girls in Tower Hamlets already benefitting.
– Closing the gender pay gap for women Council employees
Thank you again to all of today’s nominees. Together, we are working to build a more equal Tower Hamlets, and your leadership, passion and dedication is shaping our borough for the better.
