Better Bethnal Green
Better Bethnal Green (BBG), is a grassroots consortium supporting young people facing multiple/complex disadvantages in Bethnal Green east and west wards, Tower Hamlets, London.
Funded by the Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU), BBG is one of a number of grass-roots neighbourhood partnerships funded in London as part of the MyEnds programme for 2 years until March 2026.
BBG is led by Osmani Trust, in partnership with Spotlight and Streets of Growth, who are all specialists in transforming the life trajectories of young people who have become marginalised by severe local poverty, unemployment and crime – particularly those from minority ethnic communities who are disproportionately affected by these issues.
The BBG strategic partnership board is made up of key partner stakeholders including LBTH, THCVS, ELBA, Met Police, and will include local young people and residents’ representatives.
BBG will work to reduce violence in Bethnal Green, Tower Hamlets London by working with key stakeholders, young people and local communities to provide a range of interventions, capacity building and support.
