]]> We recently had the opportunity to attend a Careers Fair at Tower Hamlets Town Hall, where we set up a stand to connect with the local community and share opportunities within our organisation.

Our goal was to engage with individuals interested in volunteering and paid roles, and we were thrilled by the response. Throughout the day, we spoke with many enthusiastic young people from across Tower Hamlets who were keen to learn more about how they can get involved, gain experience, and make a positive impact in their community.

It was inspiring to see such strong interest from the next generation, with many expressing a genuine passion for giving back and building their skills. Events like this highlight the importance of creating accessible pathways into both volunteering and employment.

If you missed us at the fair but would still like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.

What Made It Special

The Easter HAF Camp 2026 was four days full of fun, energy, and growth. Children stayed active through sports, got creative with arts and crafts, and tried something new with Muay Thai. It was great to see them build confidence, make new friends, and enjoy every moment.

One standout moment was a 5-year-old girl who arrived on the first day feeling very nervous and upset. With the support of our female volunteers, she gradually settled in and started to enjoy herself within a few hours. By the next day, she came in smiling, confident, and excited completely transformed and ready to have fun.

Overall, the camp created a safe and welcoming space where children not only had a great time but also developed socially and emotionally over the four days.
