PBE advises Toynbee Hall

Download this report

Toynbee Hall is based in Tower Hamlets, one of the most deprived boroughs in the UK, and aims to eradicate poverty in the local area and beyond. Their Safe Exit project looks to reduce the scale of street-based prostitution and improve the lives of those involved.

Hoping to understand how to demonstrate the benefits of this programme, Toynbee Hall approached us for assistance.

We are grateful to Chris Peacock from the Bank of England who gave his time and expertise to this project.

More information about the charity can be found on the Toynbee Hall website.
