Serving Tower Hamlets
We run sessions across Tower Hamlets, E1 & E3, including Bethnal Green, Bow, Mile End, Whitechapel, Stepney, Poplar, Limehouse, Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs. Tower Hamlets has some of the highest levels of deprivation in London, and some of the lowest access to organised football, especially for girls, women, disabled players and under-represented communities.
Our sessions are placed deliberately in the areas with the least existing provision, aligned with the four quadrants of the NHS "Communities Keeping Well" framework, so the players who need it most can actually get to a pitch.
- ✓Currently running Wildcats, Squad Girls, Just Play and walking football sessions in Bow, Mile End, Limehouse and the Isle of Dogs
- ✓Women's sessions based at St Paul's Way School, E3 4FT
- ✓Priority focus on under-represented communities, including faith groups and residents not currently accessing football
- ✓Actively expanding into Bethnal Green, Whitechapel, Shadwell, Poplar and Canary Wharf as demand grows
