Bromley by Bow Centre joins Family Action to strengthen support for local communities

The Bromley by Bow Centre has merged with the UK’s largest family support charity, Family Action, effective from 1 March 2026.

The merger is a wonderful opportunity to protect and strengthen everything that our local community values about the Centre, ensuring residents across Tower Hamlets can continue to access the support, relationships and opportunities that help them live happier, healthier and more connected lives.

All current services and activities will continue without interruption, and we will remain rooted in the community we have served for 40 years.
