Bromley by Bow Centre

Each week the Bromley by Bow Centre supports over 2,000 families, young people and adults of all ages to learn new skills, improve their health and well-being, find employment and develop the confidence to achieve their goals and transform their lives.

The East London Bond is helping the Bromley by Bow Centre to set up a number of vital new programmes:

• creating training opportunities with new employers coming into the area so that vulnerable adults and young people – many of whom have never worked – can learn vital skills and find a job
• incubating a further 20 new social enterprises to create a vibrant hub of 50 dynamic social businesses across East London, creating jobs and opportunities
• providing specialist financial advice services to help even more people break free from debt and take steps towards lifting themselves and their families out of poverty
• launching an Olympics project giving chances to local people to build their confidence and learn new skills through sports, volunteering and arts
• stepping up its healthy living programme to help more people quit smoking, change their diet and take up exercise, improving both their health and self-esteem.
