Thank you to EC BID for supporting our Iftar and Eid events. It was great to see so many families and community members coming together to celebrate.
Earlier this year EC BID launched the EC Community Fund with ActionFunder, aiming to foster community development and addressing social and environmental issues. The fund, worth a total amount of £40,000, was awarded to ten diverse initiatives ranging from homelessness and employability skills to climate education for children. After receiving funding Toynbee Hall held an Iftar and Eid event for the local Tower Hamlets community in their state-of-the-art community centre and 140-year-old Lecture Hall. 132 people attended the events, enjoying delicious locally made meals, arts & crafts including henna and Eid card making, children’s play area, film screening and a photo booth.

Such a fantastic evening...my legs ache this morning but it's quite something to see so many people coming together to raise funds for free legal advice. Free legal advice is crucial - nearly 90% of UK residents don't have access to a local legal aid provider, and funding has reduced by 40%. So many people are unable to access justice when they need it most. Our pro bono partners Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, Ashurst, A&O Shearman, Herbert Smith Freehills do a phenomenal job supporting our community to access housing, employment, immigration, consumer and family legal advice. Thank you for all you do! I'm really proud to have been part of last night's walk...even if I might need a nap today!
Fantastic to join the Toynbee Hall team for the 20th Annual London Legal Walk, covering 10k across the city. This event is crucial in raising funds and awareness for free legal advice services that are desperately needed, especially during these challenging times. We walked alongside our partners from Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP who have been steadfast supporters of our monthly women’s-only clinic, providing invaluable legal assistance to women who often have nowhere else to turn. For those who may be unfamiliar, the London Legal Walk, organised by the London Legal Support Trust, is a cornerstone event for the legal community, bringing together thousands to support free legal advice centres. Over the past two decades, this walk has raised over £10.5 million, which has helped hundreds of thousands of people access justice. Toynbee Hall’s Free Legal Advice Clinics, which have been running for 125 years, offer free, high-quality legal advice on a range of issues from housing to employment. We must also highlight the incredible work of our other partners. Allen & Overy support our monthly employment clinic, while Herbert Smith Freehills partner with us for our weekly housing clinic. Their contributions are vital in extending our reach and ensuring that we can provide comprehensive legal support across various needs. Supporting these services is more important than ever. Your donations help keep these clinics running, providing essential legal support to those who can’t afford it.

This week is #LonelinessAwarenessWeek. Loneliness and social isolation prevents people from making connections, staying active and engaging in their community. It also affects their mental and physical health. We believe everyone should be able to have access to freely available community spaces and have be able to access social and physical activities. We offer a wide range of free, accessible activities in our Community Centre. See what's on:
