Dominic / Board member

Dominic Jebb first became an East Thames resident back in 2004 when he moved into Focus E15 foyer in Newham.

East Thames helped him find employment with a law firm and he now lives in an East Thames flat in Newham. Dominic was recently appointed to the East Homes board as a resident representative.

“The reason I applied to be on the board is because of the path I’ve walked. I feel like I’ve walked through the whole system, which means I can help people who are in the same situation I was in."

“Being a board member is quite exciting, particularly when we look at the development that the organisation is getting involved with, like the Athletes Village."

“One big area I’d like to look at is housing for first time buyers, getting young people on the housing ladder. And I’d love to get involved in the foyer again.”
