ABOUT ST HILDA’S EAST
St Hilda’s is a vibrant multi-purpose community organisation used by over 500 people each week. We provide a wide range of life-changing services and opportunities for local people of all ages - from pre-school activities, youth projects, and support for older people, to free Legal Advice, volunteering and training placements. The organisation provides a resource for the community in the Weavers Ward in northwest Tower Hamlets, while also delivering borough wide social care services.
St Hilda’s East has been serving the community for over 125 years, having been set up as a ‘settlement’ in the East End of London in 1889 by Cheltenham Ladies’ College. Nowadays a locally managed charity, we continue to provide support and opportunities for those facing disadvantage and social exclusion.
