And a quick summary....

The Bromley by Bow Centre is a dynamic and innovative charity operating in East London. Over the past 30 years it has transformed the lives of people who come from some of the most deprived estates in the UK. It has achieved this by providing a distinctive, holistic and easily accessible range of integrated services in one place. Since 1997 it has worked collaboratively with the Bromley by Bow Health Partnership to create a new and unique model of delivery which has a holistic primary care operation at its core and it became the first Healthy Living Centre in the UK.

The services available stretch from healthcare for local residents to opportunities to set up your own business; from support with tackling credit card debts to becoming a stained glass artist; from learning to read and write to getting a job for the first time or a helping hand up the career ladder.

The charity is focused on transforming the lives of local residents and the community as a whole. It’s based in Tower Hamlets, but operates across East London and delivers services in areas of very high deprivation. Whilst providing universal services, the Centre focuses on those with greatest needs and vulnerabilities, often the people considered the hardest to reach and engage.
