This National Poetry Day, we invite you to explore what sanctuary means. It could be a place of safety, a moment of peace, a welcoming community, or the power of imagination.

Oliver, a Tower Hamlets local, volunteers with Globe Community Project to support migrant and refugee women and children. He says, “Seeing a child suddenly grasp something we’d been practising together, It’s incredibly special.”

Volunteering has deepened his understanding of the challenges families face and reminded him, “We’re all neighbours, and we each have a role in looking out for one another.”

We are looking for a warm, proactive organiser to help women seeking sanctuary access our Touching Safe Ground programme - weekly sessions of trauma-informed yoga and English for wellbeing in East London.

A lot of older men have been taught to stay strong and not show their feelings. This can make it hard to talk about sadness, stress, or loneliness. But opening up doesn’t mean weakness, it can bring relief and connection.

With care, support, and safe spaces to share, men don’t have to carry everything on their own.

This July, in aid of Friendship Day. we celebrate connection that matters - at any age.

This June, in aid of Refugee Week. we celebrate the strength of refugee women, and those like Vimalamani at Globe Community Project who create spaces to heal, connect, and belong.

It wasn’t an average bus ride. There was laughter, new friendships and great snacks! Who knew a day out in London could spark so much connection?

In Tower Hamlets – where two-thirds of older residents live with long-term health conditions and the need for adult social care is the highest in the country – the risk of isolation is especially stark.

Compelling copywriter? Social media demon? Can own your work and get results? We’re looking for a proactive professional to support our mission to transform loneliness into connection among isolated people and under-served groups in Tower Hamlets. 

We're on a mission to ensure no refugee, asylum seeker, or migrant woman faces her journey alone. By supporting Brushing Safe Ground, you become part of a community that transforms the lives of women and their children through connection and care.

Our Feast for Friendship fundraiser was a resounding success! Over the course of 11 feasts, we came together in the spirit of generosity, friendship and community, raising an incredible £4,890 to support the Touching Safe Ground (TSG) project.

Globe Community Project has taken a significant step forward by launching our first six-week course specifically designed for Bangladeshi women in Tower Hamlets.

Imagine sitting alone at the dinner table week after week, month after month, and even during celebrations like Ramadan, Diwali, Easter, Christmas, and Yom Kippur.

Having celebrated Trustees week in early November, we’re spotlighting a few of the community champions who have transformed our charity, taking you behind the scenes to see what they actually do.

This month, we are running a new men’s course for those over 60 who are members of Bow Geezers Club. We are enthusiastic about the potential impact of this course in connecting with the existing members and delivering our well-established over 60’s course.

After travelling thousands of miles to reach the United Kingdom, many newly arrived women think their epic journey is over, whereas in reality, it may be only just beginning.

Our participants show us that growing old involves adapting to change, including physical health, retirement, and losing loved ones. Resilience and adaptability become essential. Embracing change rather than resisting it can lead to a much more positive and fulfilling ageing experience.

We seek a friendly and dynamic outreach and engagement lead to support weekly sessions for female asylum seekers, refugees, and local migrant women.

The event gave individuals the chance to pause and deeply consider the profound effects of the pandemic on their lives and communities while also highlighting the resilience and support found within our collective community.
