The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has identified a site in Whitechapel which will be converted into a Women’s Resource Centre (with focus on Bangladeshi women), by undertaking internal refurbishment works. This will include strip-out works, light-touch fit-out works, mechanical and electrical works and minor external works.
