Ekta Project Newham aims to bring together groups of isolated, mildly confused, frail, disable and household Asian older people living in Newham and surrounding boroughs and to improve their quality of life through community action, campaigning, advocacy, social and health care.

Who We Are

EKTA to be an organisation where older people are valued and respected.

Where they have choice and control over their lives.

When they need help or support it can be delivered in an appropriate, flexible and sensitive manner.

Our Values

People have the right to choice, and to be respected as individuals without prejudice. Every person we come into contact with in the course of our work has the right to be valued and treated with dignity. Ekta adopts this as a basic value underlying our work.
