Congratulations to Jim Ford - Tower Hamlets Volunteer of the Year 2025
EastendHomes resident Jim Ford was recently awarded Tower Hamlets Volunteer of the Year 2025 in recognition of his outstanding contribution to his local community.
Jim first began his volunteering journey at St George's Urban Orchard where he was one of a group of residents who transformed a previously unused space into a thriving sustainable environment enjoyed by residents of all ages.
From here his contribution to his local community grew and grew, with Jim actively leading and nurturing local groups and spaces all making a positive impact in Tower Hamlets. Today Jim is a Board Member for Society Links who nominated him for the Awards.
When asked about his volunteering drive Jim said:
The satisfaction I get from volunteering is about seeing people and my community develop and making new connections and friends. It’s incredibly rewarding.

From us all at EastendHomes well done Jim and thank you for everything you do.
