Women's Inclusive Team (WIT)

Our Aim Is to support disadvantaged female Tower Hamlets residents to become independent and socially included. We focus on supporting the needs of Black and ethnic minority women and promoting social cohesion within the wider community, though we are open to all women regardless of ethnicity. Run by women, for women. We enjoy a strong relationship with the local authority and other organisations. We have supported over 400 individuals ranging from ages 0-100 in achieving a better quality of life. Year on year, the numbers of individuals who refer to our services has increased by at least 30%, a testimony to our determined and high quality work. All our projects are for women and are designed, planned and delivered to empower women. The details and exact delivery change from time-to-time but the key projects that are continuously delivered include: Advice and Guidance ESOL or other relevant courses Employment focused courses such as TA or Childcare Level 2/3 Workshops to provide information on various topics such as, housing, health and domestic violence.
