Some highlights from the 2023 Autumn Impact report by service area include:
Advice
• We helped 1,536 clients with legal, debt, and welfare benefits advice.
• We helped clients generate an income through additional welfare benefits and addressing their
debts to a tune of just over £2 million during the year. That means for every £1 invested in advice
staff, £11 was gained by advice service beneficiaries.
Young People
• 23 students, across two cohorts, took exams in Links Media College.
• 100% pass rate for Music Technology, as well as English Speaking & Listening.
• 113 young people completed our peer mentoring programme in East London Schools
Community
• The Community Connectors programme helped 800 service users suffering from a serious mental
illness in Newham.
• Three quarters of the 100 service users who joined the Community Clicks programme reported
feeling confident in using tech by the end of their provision.
• Culture Within Newham is helping residents shape and take ownership of Newham’s cultural
possibilities through a series of events and engagements.
• We distributed over 8,500 bags of food to over 3000 people at our foodbank, with advice
interventions meaning we are addressing root causes of food bank usage in the first instance.
Health
• We reached over 70,000 NHS patients with relation to our cancer screening projects.
