Bromley by Bow Centre - Unleashing Healthy Communities

The Bromley by Bow Centre is a dynamic and innovative charity operating in East London. Over the past 37 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 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. A few years later it became one of the pathfinder Sure Start Children's Centres.

The services available stretch from healthcare for local residents to opportunities tot 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.

The Bromley by Bow Centre is accessed by thousands of people each month who use its facilities and services and contribute to their development and running. The buildings and flowing courtyards are designed around a three-acre community park and have been created to promote access, interaction and empowerment.

Working the bodies as large as the NHS, to GP practices and local community groups, the Bromley by Bow Centre is supporting the development of a range of health creation initiatives, from ambitious new Health and Wellbeing Hubs to local health creation networks that complement the recently formed Primary Care Networks.
