TELCO
The East London Communities Organisation (TELCO) is the founding chapter of London Citizens, the UK’s largest independent community alliance.
TELCO was launched in 1996. At the founding Assembly, over 1,300 people from 30 diverse communities gathered in York Hall, Bethnal Green, to commit to working together for the common good.
Over the last 15 years, TELCO has pioneered community organising in the UK and as part of London Citizens now counts over 250 communities in membership. By bringing communities together and training leaders in the skills of public life, TELCO is changing the way politics happens in London.
TELCO is now driving forward successful campaigns on wages, housing, safer streets and immigration. Locally, teams of leaders rebuild relationships within and between communities making a safer, fairer and better governed London.
