Just say ‘Hello’ – Support Tower Hamlets new neighbourly campaign

Just Say Hello, is Tower Hamlets' new local campaign about encouraging conversations and connecting with one another, by taking time out to say ‘hello.’

Posted on: 21 December 2023

The campaign centres around people simply having a chat with an old friend or checking in on an elderly neighbour, this can make a big difference to their wellbeing. Even the smallest gesture can create a meaningful connection for someone, especially if they’re feeling lonely or isolated.

 

Members of the community across Tower Hamlets are being invited to support the Just Say Hello campaign – whether it’s attending an event at a local community centre, hosting a ‘pop up’ coffee shop with your neighbours or dropping into a new class, there are many ways to make new connections.
