The Bromley by Bow Centre is a vibrant community charity in the heart of East London. It has a national and international reputation for its highly innovative approach which inspires and empowers local people to transform their lives. The Centre delivers an incredible range of projects based on a unique model that combines social entrepreneurship, the arts, learning, social support, horticulture and holistic and integrated health programmes. The charity supports families, young people and adults of all ages to learn new skills, improve their health and wellbeing, find employment and develop the confidence needed to achieve things they could never have dreamed of. They work with the most vulnerable people in the community, those who are isolated, facing physical or mental ill-health or who are lacking confidence, skills or qualifications. The Centre operates in an area with deep-seated economic and social problems. This includes having one of the highest levels of child poverty in the UK, the worst acute mental health admission rate in London and the second-lowest employment rate in the capital. The charity's mission is to use their empowering social entrepreneurial model to create a cohesive, healthy, successful and vibrant community that becomes a blueprint for others across the UK.
