Work with Us

Do you want to be part of the team at a charity that has a 135-year history of combating the challenges arising from deprivation and social exclusion in East London?

St. Hilda’s East (SHE) is a busy Community that has a 135-year history of combating the challenges arising from deprivation and social exclusion in East London. We aim to combat the challenges arising from deprivation and social exclusion through the delivery of a wide range of engaging activities which promote wellbeing and social connections. Located in Tower Hamlets, our services include pre-school sensory play, youth programmes, social activities and support for older people, advice, wellbeing activities for people experiencing mental health issues, and volunteering placements.

Founded in 1889 by alumnae of Cheltenham Ladies’ College, we now work from two sites – our large, friendly community centre in the heart of Shoreditch and an Elders Day Centre for the Bangladeshi and other communities in Shadwell. At our Shoreditch centre, we deliver a wide range of services, activities and events and provide office and meeting space for other organisations. We also manage 2 neighbouring buildings which are tenanted.

Our Mission

We seek to equip our service users with the resilience to navigate modern life. We welcome everyone into our spaces, and work together to deliver engaging activities, promote social contact and ultimately enrich lives.
