SAVE SOANES TODAY

This campaign has ended.

The Soanes Centre belongs to the heart of our community—but without a lease or community ownership, it’s at risk of being taken away. We can’t let that happen.

Together, as neighbours and supporters, we can show Tower Hamlets Council that this space matters. With your voice, we can demand either a secure lease or even the opportunity to take collective ownership of the Centre. As a community, we’ll ensure it thrives for our children, families, and heritage.

Sign this petition and help us stand strong. Together, we can secure the future of the Soanes Centre and make it better than ever.

Why is this important?


1. A Safe Space for Children

  • It provides a safe and welcoming environment for kids to play, learn, and build friendships.
  • Without it, families lose access to affordable, local resources for after-school activities and community events.



2. A Hub for the Neighbourhood

  • The Centre brings people together, strengthening bonds between neighbours and fostering a sense of belonging.
  • It supports local initiatives, events, and activities that benefit everyone, from children to seniors.


3. Protecting Our Heritage

  • The Soanes Centre is home to a historical graveyard, preserving a vital piece of Tower Hamlets' history.
  • Losing the Centre means neglecting an irreplaceable cultural landmark tied to the area's identity.
