Lord Mayor’s Show
The Lord Mayor’s Show sets off from Mansion House at 11am Saturday 12th November. I took these photos on different years. This gold coach has been in use since 1757. I believe the first parade was in the year 1215!
You can see the route here and pick a place to stand. The procession will take about an hour to go past you.
Help with Cost of Living
Tower Hamlets Council increased their support for residents by launching a Cost of Living Help campaign. This provides information to help people save money, access support and grants.
Check that you are claiming all the benefits you are entitled to with the benefits calculator.

They support projects that will:

Their latest funding round has just been released. The Bow Geezers have regularly received assistance from Action for Bow. We are particularly grateful for this years settlement which will help fund the social activities of our elderly members.
