Tower Hamlets Inter Faith Forum (THIFF) Inter Faith Week Event: As part of Inter Faith Week 2026, Tower Hamlets Inter Faith Forum are putting together a special event exploring how partnership working between faith communities and health and care partners can help tackle inequalities and build stronger, healthier communities. Faith communities are among the most trusted and connected networks in Tower Hamlets, and they are already helping people to stay well, connected and supported.

Come along to hear more, contribute to the discussion, and help build partnership and connection across our diverse faith sector.

The event will include presentations from the North Thames Genomic Medicine Service, the NHS and public health, plus Q&A and discussion, alongside a marketplace with a range of local organisations and services.

Highlights:
• Reflections from Tower Hamlets Inter Faith Forum Co-Chairs, Sufia Alam (London Muslim Centre) and Rev. James Olanipekun (Christ Apostolic Church).
• Real-life examples of faith-led activity on health and wellbeing
• A health system perspective on opportunities in cross-sector working
• Discussions to explore barriers, opportunities, and joint actions
• Networking over food and drink
