Tower Hamlets (Compass Safe East)

Hey I’m Vicky the Service Manager at Safe East. I was previously the Team Leader and worked in Tower Hamlets for nine years as a Health and Wellbeing Practitioner. Prior to this I worked with young mums and families. We have a great team who are able to support the young people of Tower Hamlets to create positive change. I look forward to meeting you.

Hello my name is Natalie. I have worked in the borough of Tower Hamlets for over 10 years 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.

Hey I’m Mariam, our Engagement & Participation Worker and I’ve been at Safe East for two years now.

It is truly so rewarding working with people and I’ve e always wanted to work with young people in a way that helps to change or transform their lives, even in the tiniest of ways. Even if that might be just planting a little seed, that grows with time that they can act on later. By facilitating lots of workshops and sessions (which is the main part of my role) and being readily available, whenever they need a chat, I feel like I’m fulfilling that. The aim is for any young person to feel comfortable to be able to speak to me about any and everything in confidence, even if it isn’t substance misuse or sexual health related. Their voice is so important, and it plays a significant part in working towards whatever their goal may be – they will always be heard!

I look forward to meeting you or working with you someday!

Hi - my name's Diane and I am the Wellbeing Nurse at Safe East. I support young people with their physical and sexual health, if they choose to be sexually active. I can help with advice on puberty, periods, contraception, STI testing and pregnancy. My aim is to ensure that all young people can speak to me about any subject in confidence, particularly if they do not feel they can speak to anyone else. They will be provided with correct and supportive advice, so that they can make informed decisions.
