  • Annual Review 2020
    BRINGING YOU CLOSER ANNUAL REVIEW 2019/20 WHO WE ARE EECF was established in 1990 by the London Docklands Development Corporation as its forward strategy for continued community investment. Vision A philanthropic East End free of poverty. Mission To drive philanthropy and charitable giving that responds to community needs and aspirations in East London, both now and in the future. Bringing you closer to the... Challenges Facts People Outcomes 2 WELCOME We started the year, as always, with the ambition of surpassing our successes of the previous 12 months. As the year headed to a close, we had achieved that goal and were ready to celebrate our achievements just as COVID-19 arrived. Our plans were put on hold and in true East End fashion we responded with passion, determination and most recognisably, resilience. Within 48 hours of lockdown we had launched our Emergency Fund and just days later we were providing much needed financial support to local charities serving our most vulnerable residents. I am delighted with what we have achieved and I would like to pay tribute to our donors, volunteers and key workers delivering essential community services. Our success is a result Howard Dawber of a huge community effort. We can all be extremely proud of our achievements. In the first Chairman three months of 2020/21 we distributed over £630,000 that reached thousands of residents experiencing hardship. The fund will continue to run throughout the year, adapting to emerging community needs, as there is still much more to do. The East End will pull through, as it always does, but the virus has shone a spotlight on a number of acute issues – loneliness, mental health, digital exclusion and food poverty among others.

By the late 18th Century, Wapping made London one of the busiest ports in the world. The building of The London Docks transformed a small riverside village into one of the liveliest districts in the Capital. Wapping was a gateway to the British Empire, a commercial centre and a mix of cultural influences. Celebrated figures made their home here, like explorer and captain of the Endeavour, James Cook. A resident of Wapping in the 1750s, he later became the first European to master the east coast of Australia. Wapping was also home to artists and writers. Charles Dickens drew inspiration from the area during visits to his godfather in nearby Limehouse. Much of what he saw of life in the docks and at the riverside became famous scenes in his books like Oliver Twist and Great Expectations.
