Highlights from our recent Scam Awareness – Stamp on Scam Workshop, Thursday, 17th October: We had a total of 17 participants, all of whom found the session to be highly informative and engaging. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees expressing their appreciation for the practical advice and resources shared during the workshop. Organised by the East London Business Alliance (ELBA), it was expertly conducted by four dedicated employees from the Financial Conduct Authority, who provided invaluable insights into the growing issue of scams targeting our members, particularly those aged 50 and above.

Zacchaeus announces two new 12-week Digital Skills for Life programmes designed specifically for Tower Hamlets residents aged 50 and older who do not have internet access or a computer/ tablet device. These programmes are intended to help participants learn how to go online, use social media to stay in touch with family and friends, and manage daily tasks with digital devices. We invite everyone, English speakers and those who require English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) support.
Registration for these courses is now complete.
HOW'S YOUR FEET?
Due
to a huge increase in demand for our podiatry service, we have taken
the difficult
decision to return to the original intention for the service provided
at the Zacchaeus Project. Consequently,we are now giving our highly-subsidised appointments only to Zacchaeus members who receive one or more of
the following Means-Tested Benefits:
- Council Tax Reduction
- Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)
- Housing Benefit
- Job-Seekers Allowance (JSA)
- Pension Credit
- Universal Credit
If you receive one or more of the listed benefits and wish to book a (reduced rate) podiatry appointment, please drop into the Zacchaeus office with your benefit award letter. For those for whom this does not apply, we are very sorry for the disappointment that this change will cause. You can still book to consult Joan Williams as she runs clinics elsewhere throughout the borough and Sam Arthur works locally on Roman Road. Their contact details are:
