Support our work
in Tower Hamlets

Every donation — large or small — helps us keep running the programmes that change lives in our community. Thank you.

Why your support matters

Donations keep our
programmes running

Weavers Community Forum is an independent charity. We receive some statutory funding, but donations from individuals like you are what allow us to stay flexible, reach more people and respond quickly when the community needs us.

Whether you give once or become a regular supporter, every pound goes directly towards our work in Tower Hamlets — with young people, families and isolated individuals who have nowhere else to turn.

Registered charity — all donations handled securely and transparently
Secure donation handling — your details are never shared
Cancel or change your regular gift at any time — no questions asked
85p in every £1 goes directly to community programmes and services
What your money does

Every pound works hard in Tower Hamlets

Here's what your regular monthly support could fund over a year.

£5
per month

Covers the cost of a young person attending after-school sessions for an entire month — somewhere safe to go, every week.

£10
per month

Funds regular mentoring sessions for a young person navigating difficult circumstances — someone in their corner, consistently.

£25
per month

Supports a resident through our employment programme — CV support, coaching and introductions to employers who can offer real work.

£50
per month

Keeps our social isolation group running for a whole month — a lifeline for older residents who would otherwise have no one to talk to.

£100
per month

Funds a full month of youth diversion activities — structured programmes that give young people at risk of crime a genuine alternative.

£500
per month

Funds an entire community programme for a month — reaching dozens of residents and creating the kind of change that lasts.
