We recently attended Britain Connects by Citizens UK and Daily Mirror where we had meaningful one to one conversations with fellow community leaders about how lockdown impacted us - and how we were all committed to ensuring the recovery from Covid is a just and fair one for our communities. The key message underlined how all campaigns started from a one to one conversation where a connection was made around finding out who you are and what you care about - helping us understand each other better and build momentum to drive forward energies.

Some amazing feedback from one of our service users at MITHN: "I would like to Thank you Rukia with your support through MITHN for getting me the tablet. It has opened my world again, connecting with others. You gave me the nudge.
I feel comforted with the quality of service and support I have received from MITHN holistically.
I feel the warmth, kindness, nutrient and nourishment provided by Mind in Tower Hamlets and Newham which I share with others. I am grateful.
Karen- She was the 1st person I met at MITHN. She was so kind and so helpful
Leonora- She is amazing, her wonderful quotes( Mindfulness group) and her gentle voice. All the other staff I have met were equally warm and kind. I would like give a healthy donation to MITHN to show my appreciation for their support" 😍
