On Monday 8th September, we were proud to welcome the European delegation to the Osmani Centre as part of a three-day visit to London for the Engage Youth initiative, an exciting action research project focused on strengthening civic and political participation among young people.
In partnership with Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU), and joined by delegates from Norway, Romania, Spain, and Portugal, the visit featured dynamic workshops and insightful discussions on how to empower youth through civic engagement.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the visit a success. We’re excited to be part of this inspiring project, working together to build a more engaged generation across Europe!
We’re thrilled to congratulate Khalisha Rahman, Kaleema Rahman, Arman Rahman, and Meryem Benhatta for proudly representing Osmani Trust at the Jack Petchey Regional Awards at Cineworld O2 on 7th October 2025!
Their dedication, leadership, and positive impact in the Tower Hamlets community were recognised at this prestigious event. We’re also grateful to the Jack Petchey Foundation for their incredible work empowering young people across London and Essex.
We’re excited to welcome Altaf (Senior Project Officer) and Shahid (Project Officer) to the Changing Futures Programme. Both grew up locally and know the power of supportive youth services.
Altaf offers over 15 years of experience in volunteering, local government, and charity work, with a focus on empowerment, health, and engagement while Shahid brings hands-on experience in youth and community work, creating events and safe spaces for young people to thrive.
Together, they share a passion for giving back to the community and supporting young people to reach their full potential.
Their combined experience, insight, and dedication to supporting young people further strengthen our work in the community, and we’re thrilled to have them join the team and organisation.
We’re proud to celebrate 11 inspiring local young people who have recently achieved their Level 2 Award in Youth Work!
Driven by a genuine passion to make a difference, they’re now ready to empower, mentor, and advocate for young people across Tower Hamlets and beyond.
We’re excited to see them put their skills into action, supporting young people and the communities.
Tower Hamlets Island Community Network (THICN) organised a fun-filled Community Fun Day on Monday, 27th October 25, to bring local people together!
It was an opportunity for 15 THICN volunteers to test their learning in delivering a community event.
They were joined by over 100 children, young people and families who enjoyed a wide range of activities, from boxing and football to arts & crafts, life sciences and more, filling the atmosphere with great energy.
S. Miah, a local young person and volunteer said; “I came to help with the boxing and put my learning to use. It’s for our community so I feel very proud to be here.”
A massive thank-you to everyone who came along and helped make the day a great success!
We’re proud to share that Osmani Trust is highlighted in the recent EQUI report on pages 19, 39, and 40. According to EQUI’s conservative estimate, the value added by our interventions is around £26.4 million—a powerful testament to the positive impact our work continues to make in the community.
Our sincere thanks to Elizabeth Teixeira and the EQUI team for this important research, which helps shine a light on the difference we’re making together.
