Our Christian Ethos:

Canaan Project was started by a team from Tower Hamlets Community Church who wanted to serve the young people of their community, you can learn more about our story here. Although a lot has changed for Canaan since we started, we still hold to our Christian ethos. Our work is inspired and motivated by our Christian faith and a belief that all people are of equal worth and should have equal access to all that life has to offer. This belief drives us to offer opportunities and support to those young people who are most marginalised to enable to them to overcome the barriers that exclude them and see them thrive. We are passionate about seeing those on the fringes, find themselves at the centre. We welcome young people of any background, belief, ability, sexuality, culture or circumstance and never seek to impose our worldview on those we work with.
