Why register with THCUP

The purpose of the Tower Hamlets Change Up Consortium (THCUP) is to provide a forum where the local infrastructure organisations for the third sector can plan and deliver work together. The consortium's areas of interest include co-ordinating information and capacity building support to the third sector, as well as discussing potential areas of collaboration for future work.

Full membership is open to all organisations in Tower Hamlets that support Community and Voluntary organisations.

The Tower Hamlets ChangeUp Consortium is open to any organisations providing second tier services in the borough of Tower Hamlets which wishes to work with other similar organisations to provide a more informed, co-ordinated and planned range of support services for frontline groups
