Join us to learn more about the community regeneration work of Poplar HARCA in East London.

Wednesday 8 October, 11am-3pm. 

Poplar HARCA155 East India Dock Road, London E14 6DA.

As part of our focus on social place-shaping, join us to learn more about the work of Poplar HARCA, in East London, on community regeneration and their transformational reshaping plan for Poplar and Bow to create a place where people, communities and businesses can grow and thrive.

Poplar HARCA operates a hyper-local, place-based model rooted in resident empowerment, regeneration, and partnership working. They have a strong focus on resident leadership and integrated services, including health, employment, and youth work.

All courtesy of Poplar HARCA, the visit has been designed so you:

  • Take away transferrable learning on their internationally recognised approach to community empowerment.
  • Hear about their work to improve health and wellbeing in their communities.
  • See first-hand their state-of-the-art creative spaces for young people and affordable work spaces for the community.
  • Understand how they work with partners and community and faith groups to ensure what they do reflects the needs of their communities.
  • Are inspired by the regeneration work they have done to transform their corner of East London, including through building new homes, education, healthcare and faith buildings, business and community spaces.
  • Network with other PlaceShapers members and create connections for future learning.

If you are interested in regeneration, community development, investment and engagement, or just want to learn more about a brilliant place-shaping organisation, then this day is for you.  We'll be meeting at Poplar HARCA’s office in London, just a few minutes walk from All Saints, DLR Station. 

Please note: Member events places are only available to PlaceShapers member organisations and their representatives.
