Your candidates in Hackney Wick

Jam Anker

Jam (JamJam) Anker is a longstanding community organiser in Hackney Wick. They care deeply about the area and wants to help make it work better for the people who live there. Jam is passionate about building a stronger local community, where residents can access practical support, feel more connected, and have real opportunities to develop, whether professionally, creatively, or through local organisations and shared spaces.

Jam says, “Imagine, a Wick that provides you food, legal-aid, support for your family, home, work or even Football Club! Opportunities to develop yourselves, professionally or creatively.
Well, let’s make it happen! The power to do so lies in our togetherness. I would start by organising regular communal gatherings, for all different parts of the neighbourhood, aimed at bringing us together, and finding out what we each need to take part."
