Meet our Community Engagement team


Luana Baptista, Head of Community Engagement
My name is Luana and I am originally from the island of Madeira. I have worked at The Hub for around 3 years. I have enjoyed meeting lots of new people and helping them to be part of the community. In my spare time I play basketball for a team called the Tower Hamlets Trojans.

Laurence Swan, Community Engagement Manager
I’m Laurence and I am originally from Scotland. I started as a support worker at LDN London 28 years ago. My job at The Hub has been one of my most exciting so far. I now live with my husband in North London. I enjoy the theatre, art and visiting galleries.

Colin Doyle, Community Engagement Coordinator
I’m Colin. I moved to London from the Northeast of England. I’ve been on some great trips with The Hub so far. I enjoy playing the guitar when I have free time.

Sally Ishag, Sessional Worker
My name is Sally. I have been with LDN London since April 2024. I have enjoyed helping people and taking part in the workshops. In my spare time I like to listen to music: Taylor Swift is one of my favourites.
