Health E1 Medical Centre is seeking contributions of long-life food, toiletries and clothing from local organisations and the public.
These will be distributed at its upcoming health and wellbeing fair on 26 September 2025.
The event is designed as a one-stop health and support hub for people living in hostels or supported accommodation, rough sleepers, sofa surfers, and those who spend significant time on the streets or in public spaces.
“We deeply appreciate everyone in the community who contributes to ensuring people feel supported across the borough,” said Mohammed Almahfuz, Practice Manager.
The fair will take place at Health E1 Medical Centre, 9–11 Brick Lane, from 10am to 2pm.
Visitors will have access to:
- Free food bank items
- Clothing
- Haircuts
- Health and social care support
- Other practical help from local services
Donations can be dropped off at the practice, or you can call 0207 247 0090 for more information.
Health E1 Medical Centre is part of East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT), which provides primary care, community health, and mental health services across east London and beyond.
The practice supports anyone in Tower Hamlets who is experiencing homelessness, including people in temporary accommodation, hostels, or those who are not registered with a GP and face difficulties accessing healthcare.
