A community-centred approach

Partnership is key

We believe that solving complex challenges requires collaboration. Our partnerships with NHS Trusts, hospitals, GPs, local councils, and community groups enable us to identify and address critical health needs effectively. Through the One East London Network, launched by Mayor Sadiq Khan, we’re working with over 60 primary care practitioners and anchor institutions to tackle health inequalities in innovative ways.

Listening to the community

We value the voices of East London residents, families, and learners in shaping our projects. Together, we’re designing initiatives that reflect community needs, offering resources to health practitioners and leaders to drive the necessary changes for better health outcomes.

Building for the future: Sustainability

The Stratford Health Campus is committed to a sustainable future, with a 40% green space coverage and a goal to exceed a 50-60% reduction in carbon emissions through modern technologies like air source heat pumps and solar panels. Our design prioritises well-being, targeting WELL Building Standard 'Gold' and aiming for BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ certification.

Space for all

The campus redevelopment includes new public spaces, providing safe, green, and accessible areas for the local community. We’re also working with local youth mental health charity, Ashok’s Vision, to create opportunities for young people to engage in gardening and planting activities on-site.
