Toynbee Hall works alongside people facing poverty and injustice to build a fairer and happier East London.
Based in the East End since 1884, the charity offers high quality, timely services, informed and shaped by the people and communities they work with.
Their vision is ‘a future free from poverty’. The charity’s advice services, youth and older people’s projects and financial inclusion work are all geared towards supporting members of the local community, not only in times of crisis but on a longer term basis by providing them with the skills and support they need to open up access to opportunities.
In 2021 the Randal Charitable Foundation provided grant funding for the recruitment of 20 young volunteers to join their Intergenerational Buddy Scheme, which will lead to the befriending of 80 older community members in Tower Hamlets.
