As the campaign title says: You are loved and wanted in London!

Along with our valued partners, we are really pleased to be part of this campaign. In a time of social angst and worry for many in our community and across London, we are 100% behind this timely work.

We'll be offering our spaces for various events to help bring people together.

Our CEO Elly De Decker and several colleagues were at the launch last night, showing our support for this worthwhile movement.

Loved and Wanted is a campaign from the Mayor of London that reaffirms to Londoners that no matter who you are or where you’re from – you are loved and wanted in our city.

We're honoured to be working alongside our local partners to help bring this campaign to life: Bromley by Bow Church in the Community (United Reformed Church), Christ Apostolic Church East London Assembly, Bromley By Bow Bangladeshi Forum and Muslim Cultural Centre (Bromley by Bow Masjid’s Charity), Women's Inclusive Team (WIT), The Salvation Army – Stepney & Poplar Corps and the Bromley by Bow Health Partnership.

Great to be working with you all on this.

A £24,000 grant from our Investec Beyond Business programme has undoubtedly helped Annie Hought and her business Round Retail.

More than the money, though, she gained an invaluable amount from the close support from Investec and Bromley by Bow Centre specialists and mentors.

After an application process, Annie was one of four winners last year.

"Everybody was at a different stage in their social enterprise, and it was just nice to be in a cohort with people that had really inspiring businesses that all wanted to do something a bit better for the world," she said.

Read Annie's story here in the superb local newspaper Tower Hamlets Slice
