About Well One

Why we exist

Life in Tower Hamlets can be busy. Work, family and the rising cost of living don’t leave much time or energy to spare.
When that happens, health and wellbeing can easily slip down the list. It’s not that you don’t want to feel good. It’s that everyday life doesn’t always leave space to go looking for something new, or know where to start.

There’s a lot happening locally, from free exercise sessions and community groups to cooking workshops and health checks. But if you don’t come across them at the right time, or they don’t feel relevant, they can be easy to miss.

We hear this consistently. Over 700 residents shared their experiences through a Well One survey. Many said they found out about things too late, or not at all. Others described feeling unsure about going alone, or not knowing what to expect.

For some people these things build up over time. And that can make taking part feel even harder than it should be.
