Newham Community Project
Supporting Local People | Building Stronger Communities

Newham Community Project is committed to empowering individuals by promoting economic stability, resilience, and inclusion, including those with no recourse to public funds. Through initiatives such as a food bank, advocacy, and trauma-informed support, we address food and children’s needs, advance equality, and strengthen community connections, creating lasting positive change.

HIGHLIGHTS

Community is more than in our name. It is the power behind everything we do. We listen, we act, we bring people and organisations together to tackle inequality, create opportunities and build a fairer, healthier and more sustainable future.

Newham Community Project works with women and girls experiencing poverty, social isolation, barriers to accessing services and opportunities, or rebuilding their lives after domestic abuse. We provide comprehensive, trauma-informed support, helping women and girls improve their wellbeing, develop skills and confidence, build supportive relationships and contribute to decisions affecting their lives and communities.

Imra’a, Here I Stand, Here I Stay is one of our projects supporting women and girls. Imra’a is a community-led initiative that has developed a framework for supporting survivors of domestic abuse after their immediate safety needs have been addressed.

Newham Community Project is committed to helping create healthier, greener and more sustainable communities. Our climate and environmental work is community-led, making practical action accessible and ensuring that residents experiencing poverty and inequality are not left behind. This growing area of our work includes energy efficiency, sustainable living, climate awareness and community resilience.

Powering Communities is one of NCP’s climate and environmental projects, helping households reduce energy use, lower associated carbon emissions and manage rising costs. Through workshops and individual Bill and Budget Check-Ups, residents learn practical ways to improve energy efficiency and adopt more sustainable household practices.

Newham Community Project works with refugees and migrants experiencing poverty, destitution, social isolation, language or digital barriers, limited access to public funds and difficulties navigating essential services. Our work includes practical and individual support, food and essential items, casework, advocacy, digital inclusion, skills development and opportunities for community participation. We help people meet immediate needs, understand and access services and rights, build confidence and strengthen their connections within the community.

Within this area of our work, the Newham Community Research Network (CRN) is a five-year community research programme connecting residents, community organisations, academic partners and local government. NCP leads the Refugee and Migrant strand, linking local networks for collaboration, and training community members as Citizen Social Scientists to research community priorities.
