What we do

The Globe Community Project (GCP) was set up in March 2003 to promote the benefit of the local residents of Tower Hamlets and surrounding districts. This is one of the most deprived areas of London and home to people from very diverse ethnic backgrounds. GCPs activities help to alleviate social and economic exclusion, develop skills and confidence and facilitate community cohesion in order to reduce tensions, misunderstandings and the roots of potential conflict. Many of our activities are arts and/or health based, and the GCP also actively seeks to include all sectors of the local communities, involving people of different ethnic backgrounds and of different ages.

GCP aims to do this by associating together with other local organisations and the LBTH Council in an effort to enhance education and by providing facilities in the interests of collective wellbeing. It enables local people to develop actual and transferable skills, with the object of improving the conditions and quality of life.The Globe Community Project has also been providing a highly valued weekly advice day since 2004, with the help of the Citizen's Advice Bureau.

Our activities include a weekly advice service, the Open Circle storytelling courses and Bounce Back to Work employability courses.
