It focuses on:

The Tudor Lodge nursery is run by Bow Childcare. It has capacity for 52 children.

Bromley by Bow Time Bank

This exciting new project assists members in the community to help one another and share skills. Time banking is based on the idea that everyone has something to offer and everyone can benefit from others. For each hour a member spends time helping someone, they get an hour of somebody else's help in return. This is in the form of a 'time credit'. They can 'spend' this time credit asking for help themselves such as gardening, bicycle repairs, shopping, DIY etc.

They are recruiting members now! To find out more contact Jessica Veltman or go along to their weekly drop-in coffee afternoon every Thursday 2-3.30pm at the Pie in the Sky Cafe at the Bromley by Bow Centre.
