Bromley by Bow: Unleashing Healthy Communities
North East London

The Bromley by Bow Centre is a community centre and healthcare partnership service in Tower Hamlets, London. The centre is a pioneer in community-based approaches to improving health and wellbeing.

Their Unleashing Healthy Communities research programme aimed to develop a more inclusive approach to measuring wellbeing, to add to the measures usually required by funders, which could incorporate the holistic nature of the Bromley by Bow Centre, recognise what was important in people’s lives, and include outcomes that were valued by users of the centre.

The result was an outcomes framework, which included a set of ‘stretch outcomes’ developed with community members, relating to the ways in which people can grow through using the service.  More information on Bromley By Bow’s approach to measuring what matters to communities can be found here.
