Toynbee Hall: A Powerhouse for Social Change

ESAN Member, Toynbee Hall has returned to its original East End home after three years of renovation work. The new building hosts a new, free and permanent exhibition. The exhibition showcases Toynbee Hall’s contribution  to some of the most defining moments in London’s social history over the last 134 years: from the role of co-founder Henrietta Barnett and former residents William Beveridge and Clement Attlee, up to the involvement of the Bengali Community and local innovators whose ideas still shape its work today. It also pays tribute to the work of Charles Booth and his ‘Inquiry into Life and Labour in London’, with a mural depicting one of the maps.

Toynbee Hall will kindly be hosting the ESAN AGM and members’ meeting on Tuesday, 16 October.
