About Us
Newham Matters is an independent community platform for open, thoughtful discussion about politics and public life focussing here in Newham and connecting with the wider world.
We bring together people from all backgrounds to share experiences, question power, and explore how politics shapes everyday life.
We’re left-leaning in values, committed to fairness, equality, and collective care. But we welcome a wide range of perspectives that strengthen local democracy.
Through blogs, events, and conversations, we aim to make political dialogue accessible, respectful, and rooted in community experience.
Because what happens in Newham matters and so do the voices of those who live here.
Our Mission
Newham Matters exists to make politics more open, local, and human.
We create safe spaces both online and in person, where people from all backgrounds can discuss issues that shape our lives.
Through stories, debate, and collaboration, we aim to build understanding, challenge misinformation, and give a platform to the voices of Newham.
We’re left-leaning in values but open to diverse views, united by a belief that honest dialogue can drive real change.
