Read about Sid and Emilia's friendship
'I’ve gained a friend, role model, life coach and I’m given all the free advice a confused 25 year old could need.'
For four years, an average of 30% of our income was raised directly from you – our passionate neighbours. This community didn't just benefit from intergenerational activity and relationships: you also helped fund that work that meant so much to so many.
And, importantly, our community fundraising was a core programme. It enabled younger and older neighbours alike to have a stake in their community; to build it; and to fund it – with all the opportunities for camaraderie and connection that went with that effort.
We are so grateful for your support, and more memories will appear here soon of the fabulous times we had together building East London Cares.
