Working together to change lives and transform our community!

BDCA is a dynamic community-led charity that has been working for the past 14 years to improve the quality of life of people living in the disadvantaged East Ham area. Our targeted projects promote community cohesion and increase health and well-being by helping our community to CONNECT, be more ACTIVE, take time to REFLECT, keep on LEARNING and to GIVE more often. BDCA provided activities and facilities for over 14,500 people throughout 2012. Over time, BDCA has extended its remit to become a multi-purpose organisation delivering high quality but affordable events, activities and services through the 3 local venues that we manage: The Well Community Centre, Flanders Playing Field and Bobby Moore Sports Pavilion. Our targeted projects focus on: Sports; Youth; Food; Children & Families; and Elders & their Carers.

Why the community needs us

We encourage local people to adopt healthier lifestyles by getting active and eating healthily. We offer advice, support & counselling services to support vulnerable people in crisis. We help elders and their carers to "add years to life and life to years". We create opportunities for local people to develop their skills, raise confidence and boost employability. We provide activities and services which support families and promote the healthy development of children and young people.

Our impact on the community

At BDCA, we believe every single person can play a part in transforming our community. That's why we've launched BDCA Buddies, a regular giving partnership. Monthly giving is the most efficient way to give to BDCA, because we can direct your gift to those who need it most every month! Take a look on the right to see what your monthly gift could achieve. In return, we offer dedicated perks including invitations to our VIP events and a discount on hiring our facilities, for every BDCA Buddy!
