Lord Mawson founded the internationally renowned Bromley-by- Bow Centre nearly three decades ago. Successive governments have used this, along with many other path nder projects developed by Lord Mawson, as national exemplars for successful community regeneration. His championing and development of an integrated working model – involving health, education, housing, business and enterprise – has received international recognition.

Lord Mawson believes in building strong, vibrant communities, and in the unique gifts of every individual in the community. Through his organisation, Andrew Mawson Partnerships, he acts as a social broker and placemaker to join the dots together.
