Home to more than 360,000 resident5. It is also one of the youngest and fastest-changing. Wlth population churn of around 20% each year. Despite its energy and diver51ty- over 100 lanBuage5 are spoken ènd nearly three-quarters of re5idenls are from Black, Asian, or Global Majority backgrounds- Newharn continue5 to face entrenched inequalibes. R3nked the 12th most deprived local authority in England, the borough experiences some of the highest levels of poverty and disadvantage the country. Poverty remains 3 delining feature of life for many. Almost 38% of residents live in poverty once housing c05t5 are taken into account, while child poverty rates stand at 3round 44%, well above the London average of 35%. Newham familie5 are more likely to be trapped Iow-p3id or insecure work, with nearly a quarter of jobs falling below the London Living Wage and 3ver3ge weEkly earnings around £100 less than elsewhere in the c3Pltal. These pressures have intensilied in the cO￿teXt of high inflation and the continuing cost-of-1iving crisis, leaving rnany households reliant on food banks. debi advice, and welfare support simply to get by. Housing Femains the single most acute issue in the borough. Newharn has the highest rate of households in temporary accommodation in the country. with 57 per 1,000 households affected- ligure that has continued to climb in 2025. Sherter has previously estimated that one in 21 people in the borough is homeless, while thousands more live in overcFowded or insecure conditions. High private rents, often consuming more than half of a family'5 income. and frequent evictions add to the instability. These factors feecs into wider health and wellbeing outcomes, with prernature mortality, infant mortallty, and long-term health conditions all worse than the London average. Looking ahead, the pressures facing Newham are unlikely to ease. Rising housing demand, escalating rents, and the erosion of affordable housing stock are expected to push more families into tempoiarv or insecure accommodatitsn. Poverty is predlcted to remain stubbornly high. with chilo poverty in particular projected to worsen if current econornic conditions persist. At the same time, public services face ongoing tin3ncial strain, limiting their capacity to respond, while the voluntary and community sertor is already experiencing growing demand for food, mental health. housSng, and immigration support. And yet, amid these challenges. Newham's vibrancy and resllience remain striklng. Its diversity, its strong networks of solid8rlty, and its history of community action are powerful assets. The borough's young and entrepreneurial population bring5 energy and creativity, while its communities continue to ctsme to6eth&r in ways that reflect deep mutual sUPPOrt. It $5 Wlthln this complex operating context- of acute need, structural inequality, and untapped potential- that the Renewal Programme steps forward with its new Open House strategy. source where not specifitollysrored- ww whLrm.In Communkty consultation and focus groups 2024 Listening to our community remalns central to the Renewal Prograrnme's work.

Digital skills, ESOL provision, and safer. more inclusive community space5 were also identified a5 prioritie5. To explore these themes in greater depth, we held resident focu5 group5 in February 2025 to help better understand local health needs. Participants emphasised the value of wellbeing activities that cornbine physical and rnental health beneh"tS- such as gardening. yoga. l*ght outdoor exercise, sewing, and women's health workshops. Timing was important, with most preferring sessions after morning School drop-offs, while afternoons were often ruled out by work and caring responsibilitie5. The group also called fof cultural inclusivity, with enthusiasm for celebrating festivals like Eid, Diwali, Vaisakhi, Christmas and other5, whilst Sharing food and better understanding traditions from different backgrounds. Alongside formal consultation. the Renewal Programme also draws on the daily conversations our staff and volunteer teams have with Service users. These on80ing. informal exchan8es provide invaluable insight into emerging needs, barriers, and aspirations, and help us adapt our activities responsively. Together. the 2024 consultation, focu5 group lindings. 3nd everyday feedback re3ffirm the community's desire for flexible, Inclusive, and resident-led activities, alongside continued support in tacklin8 Structural challenge5 such as housing, employment. and health inequalities.
