Equitable collaboration is at the forefront of all our work which includes positive relationships with:

“Our goal is to ensure that we equitably invest, support, collaborate and create partnerships committed to building back fairer with no one left behind across the four East London boroughs of Newham, Hackney, Waltham Forest, and Tower Hamlets – neighbours of the East Bank, the new culture, innovation, and education quarter.”
