Tower Hamlets Island Community Network (THICN)
Tower Hamlets Island Community Network (THICN), is a grassroots Network made up of local organisations, key individuals, statutory partners and stakeholders aiming to reduce youth violence on the Isle of Dogs (IoD).
Funded by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) Violence Reduction Unit (VRU), THICN is one of a number of grass-roots neighbourhood partnerships funded in London as part of the MyEnds Sustainability programme for 2 years until March 2026.
The THICN consortium is led by Osmani Trust, in partnership with Spotlight and Streets of Growth, who are all specialists in transforming the life trajectories of young people who have become marginalised by severe local poverty, unemployment, crime and youth violence – particularly those from BAME communities who are disproportionately affected by these issues.
THICN is managed by a board made up of key stakeholders including LBTH, Met Police, THCVS, ELBA and the 3 consortium partners – Osmani Trust, Spotlight and Streets of Growth.
To find out more information about THICN or to join the Network, contact Kamrul Islam, THICN Programme Manager on kamrul.islam@osmanitrust.org or 020 7247 8080.
