London faces significant challenges, including a reoffending rate of nearly 50% within a year of release from prison. In Newham, one of the city’s most diverse and vibrant boroughs, the reoffending rate mirrors broader issues, with over 60% of young offenders reoffending within two years of release. These rates reflect deeper issues such as high unemployment (with Newham experiencing an unemployment rate of around 8%, higher than the London average) and housing instability. Additionally, around 30% of Newham residents live in social housing, highlighting the need for improved support services.

Our Digital Hub collaborates with local organisations, councils, and the City of London to address these challenges effectively. By connecting individuals with resources such as employment opportunities, housing assistance, and mental health services, we aim to support the Greater London Authority’s mission to foster a safer, more inclusive city. Our commitment is to drive positive change and strengthen communities across London, ensuring that everyone has the support they need to build a better future.
