All Hallows Bow

All Hallows Bow is a vibrant, diverse and growing Church of England church located in the heart of London’s East End. Together we are God's family in Bow, seeking to share God’s love in our local community and see lives transformed as we follow the way of Jesus. Our vision is to be 'an explosion of joy, by making Jesus known in our local community, to see lives transformed.'

We are passionate about expressing the good news of Christ in ways that address the practical and felt needs and priorities of people in our local community, particularly those who are struggling, on the edge, or feel church just couldn't be for them. We express this passion through our various community-based ministries including: AHABA community café, homeless outreach, our Father's House ministry (for recovering addicts) and Fern Street Family Centre.

About Fern Street Family Centre

In 2014, we established the Fern Street Family centre with a vision to see Jesus's promise of 'life to the full' (John 10:10) become reality for disadvantaged and vulnerable children and their families in Bow, East London. Together, we work with our local community to see the lives and life chances of children and their families change for the better.

Our work is an evolving response to the challenges faced by children and families in Bow. We offer safe and stimulating spaces for children to play and learn and for parents to strengthen their relationship with their children. We do this through a mix of group and one-to-one support for parents and carers, an English language programme for migrant parents, early learning and play activities, a food pantry, out-of-school and holiday clubs for school-aged children and lots more! Alongside it all we aim to bring families in our community together, breaking isolation and building a more connected Bow.

Our 5 strategic aims include:

• Strengthening family relationships
• Enabling childing to achieve their full potential
• Developing families’ resilience
• Empowering families to transform their communities
• Promoting the holistic emotional, physical and spiritual well-being of children and families

In all we do we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and hold onto his promise of hope, wholeness, restored relationships, justice and realised potential for children and families in our local area.
