Petition details
Save THCAN
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
This Petition runs from 01/11/2023 to 31/12/2023.
