Testimony from Deputy Mayor who visited us in December 2022
"I had the pleasure of attending Neighbours in Poplar’s 2022 Christmas party at St. Matthias Community Centre. It was an afternoon of festive cheer and joy as I helped to serve a Christmas lunch to guests and enjoyed some brilliant entertainment. Throughout the afternoon I spoke with residents, staff and volunteers and learned more about the variety of programmes and events taking place. The dedication and work of staff and volunteers at Neighbours in Poplar is invaluable in supporting older residents in Tower Hamlets, helping to reduce isolation and loneliness, and creating a strong sense of belonging and community for local residents."
- Dr Debbie Weekes-Bernard, London's Deputy Mayor for Communities & Social Justice
