about us

about us

BCFForum was established in the mid-1990s as an independent network of local voluntary groups working with children and young people as well as their families, offering practical information and support on improving the lives of children and families in London Borough of Bromley.
Bromley is often perceived as an affluent borough, hidden deprivation exists alongside pockets of poverty, low employment, and households struggling to meet basic needs. Many of the challenges families face are not solely linked to wealth or poverty but stem from family trauma, childhood pressures, addiction, parenting conflict, and behavioural challenges. Rising demand for support reflects these complex and interrelated pressures.
We facilitate partnership projects, fostering collaboration among various organisations to address community needs. Our efforts build a stronger support system for children, young people, and families in Bromley, promoting a healthier and more inclusive community.

Supporting Over 160 Community Groups

BCFF has over 160 voluntary organisations and community groups that deliver services in health and social welfare or education issues such as, learning or physical disabilities or domestic abuse.

Sharing Knowledge, with our Community

BCFForum provides a platform to connect, deliver training, share news and information from its members and associated members via its social media platforms, newsletters and networking events.

Partnering for a Positive Change

We also work closely with statutory agencies to deliver and promote projects that improve the lives of children and families. We represent the sector on various Local Authority and strategic boards.
