Bromley Brighter Beginnings

Who we are

Bromley Brighter Beginnings

Within the London Borough of Bromley there are large areas of social deprivation, and 54% of children in the borough are eligible for free school meals. Bromley Brighter Beginnings provides parents in financial hardship with essential items to help them look after their children. 

We are passionate about what we do, working in the very heart of the local community.

Our aims are:

• Providing new and second-hand baby- and child-related clothing and equipment and essential household items to families in need;  

• Providing information to families in financial hardship to enable them to access support available from other charities and organisations; and 

• Raising awareness about the level of poverty in the London Borough of Bromley and the impact of such poverty on the lives of children and their parents. 

Since we started in 2012, we’ve made a difference to thousands of families.
