THCAN has strongly contributed to creating better collaboration and coordination between different statutory services and the voluntary sector, raising issues Tower Hamlets residents faced with the relevant authorities in view of improving the lives of Tower Hamlets residents and the services they receive.

THCAN has helped many Tower Hamlets residents’ skilling up, developing their social welfare knowledge, support local advice agencies trough volunteering and becoming a new work force, a work force with lived experience and a strong understanding of the community.

THCAN website has over 9000 users http://www.thcan.org.uk in the last year and has been in existence for the last 10 years.

This website has become a first point of access for many front-line workers in Tower Hamlets and over 46 organisations and 450 registered front line workers are on the THCAN referrals portal which allowed organisations from multiple sectors to make 3350 cross referrals enabling a no wrong door approach for resident in crisis.

Without fund, All these beneficial services are now at risk and the infrastructure which grew through THCAN’s work will now end, leading to Tower Hamlets’ residents facing disjointed and disinformed services and difficulties accessing the service they need in times of crisis .

I therefore urge the council to fund THCAN
