Communities Keeping Well
Supporting you to live a healthier life
Communities Keeping Well (CKW) are your GPs, the council’s Public Health team, local voluntary sector organisations and residents working together.
CKW is working with eight communities in Tower Hamlets to prevent diabetes, coronary heart disease and respiratory disease.
Since April 2024, residents have come together through a series of community events to design and lead activities to support a healthier life. As well as making these neighbourhoods healthier places to live, it’s a chance for our community to get their voices heard on health and help each other out.
In rounds 1 and 2 of CKW, residents applied for up to £2,000 to launch their own health and wellbeing project in Lansbury, Limehouse East or Barkantine (Isle of Dogs)!
See below for the current free projects in your local area:
Through round 1 of CKW, new projects emerged to create healthier communities.
There are still projects yet to start across the South East, which include an Elders Luncheon Club, therapeutic dessert making & healthy cooking for families with SEND children. Watch this space!
For any questions on the projects or if you’d like to get involved, you can contact Leoca Powell, Communities Keeping Well Project Coordinator on Tel. 07512313033 or email: leoca.powell@nhs.net

“I absolutely love these Pilates classes. They have created a truly safe and welcoming space where women of all ages, body types, and backgrounds come together to take time for ourselves, focus on our well-being, and exercise without judgment”
