Healthy Neighbourhoods in Tower Hamlets
Project Background
Planned in conjunction with Tower Hamlets Council, the Healthy Neighbourhoods project aimed to collect feedback from residents in Tower Hamlets to find out what services are important to them, and how well these services in different areas of the borough currently support local people.
The findings will be used to formulate a plan to support the development of local neighbourhoods to improve people’s health and well-being.
Methodology
The feedback was collected through an online survey between October and December 2022. The survey was shared with local people through various community and voluntary organisations, Barts NHS Health Trust, and Tower Hamlets Council. In addition, the survey link was regularly posted on Healthwatch Tower Hamlets’ social media channels and promoted at local events.
The Healthwatch team also conducted some street surveying in busy areas of the borough, such as the Whitechapel Market, and two focus groups that were hosted by Beyond Sight Loss – a community group of people with visual impairments – and the Tower Hamlets LGBT+ Forum.
In total, we heard from over 360 local people.
