I’m Sonia, Service Manager at Tower Hamlets Safe East. I have not been at the service long as I joined Compass in June 2020. I am very excited to be part of such a great team in a diverse borough such at Tower Hamlets where great changes are happening. Over the last 10 years I have implemented new services as well as managed integrated Adult and YP services in London. We are a great team full of different skills and personalities and are waiting to support you and listen so please get in contact.

Hello my name is Natalie and my current role is a health and wellbeing practitioner. I have worked in the borough of Tower Hamlets for over 5 years and have over 10 years experience within the field of substance misuse. This has helped me develop a good understanding of the issues that both young people and adults face. I enjoy addressing challenges presented within the borough with the hope of creating a lasting positive impact.

Hiya, it’s Nicole here and I am a Health and Wellbeing Practitioner.

I started working with Compass in June 2021. I have over 15 years’ experience working in the substance misuse field with both adults and young people.

It is very rewarding working with young people as having those early interactions can really make a difference.
I always put their needs first, so communication is key.

It is important that every Young person has a voice and that they feel listened to and not just talked at.
I always ask young people what they would like to gain from their experience so that we can work together towards achieving this.

Whilst my role is to offer support and advice, I have also learnt a lot and gained valuable insight from our young people.

I enjoy being part of the young persons journey and seeing them succeed and be their best self!

I look forward to meeting with you
