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.
The Communities Keeping Well programme is working with eight communities in Tower Hamlets to prevent diabetes, coronary heart disease and respiratory disease.
Apply below for up to £2,000 to launch your own health and wellbeing project in Lansbury, Limehouse East or Barkantine!
Round 2 of community grants is open for application
Deadline: 11:59pm on Tuesday 30th September 2025
Over two years, residents will come together through a series of community events to design and lead activities to support a healthier life. As well as making these neighbourhood healthier places to live, it’s a chance for our community to get their voices heard on health and community life, become health champions and help each other out.

“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”
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!
