About us
Our Journey
We found that our voice was stronger when it was magnified by greater community engagement. It has become our quest to carry on growing and gaining momentum to bring about positive change to Bromley residents' day-to-day lived experiences.
As a team, we embrace the principles of both localism and philanthropy, believing that the people who live and work here are best placed to know what will improve their neighbourhood. With the opposite being the trend, we are committed to shifting power away from central government and toward local residents and organisations , giving our community the tools and influence to shape its own destiny and ensure decisions about local housing, services, and green spaces are made right here at home.
What We Stand For
Buy Local - Karma Capitalism
As a local business owner, our leader has launched a "Buy Local" campaign. Indeed, we have started the ball rolling by purchasing our team's logoed hoodies from Stitch to Stitch - a local Bromley business. Better Bromley has ambitious plans going forward into 2026 - championing localism by supporting our community's independent businesses and showcasing local artisan and farm produce, thus bringing much-needed footfall into the town. By shopping and dining locally, you help ensure that money earned here recirculates within our own economy, rather than flowing out to distant corporations. This approach not only provides unique choices and quality products but also strengthens the social fabric and resilience of our town. Building partnerships between the town and rural farms and cottage industries in the borough helps to build a vibrant and connected place for all of us.
