The work continues, and so does our commitment to identifying need, creating solutions and strengthening communities.
As we celebrate this milestone, we would like to thank our partners, supporters and the many organisations who have been part of #BCBN's journey over the past fifteen years.
• Bringing together business leaders, #charities, researchers, public services and community organisations to strengthen communities and improve lives. Built a trusted platform for grant-making, programme incubation that continues to strengthen #communities nationwide.
• Developing pioneering initiatives addressing children in care, mental health, domestic abuse, youth violence, prisoner rehabilitation and refugee support. BCBN flagship programmes: bcbn.org.uk/projects/
Over the past fifteen years, that vision has grown into:
• Supporting more than 100 grassroots charities and community organisations through the #BCBNGrant Initiative. BCBNGI Impact Report: bcbn.org.uk/.../03/BCBNGI-Re…
This year marks fifteen years since BCBN was established with a simple ambition: to identify community need, bring together the right partners and develop practical solutions to some of the challenges facing communities across the UK.

Resilient Minds is a new schools programme by BCBN, in partnership with @ChilternLT and sponsored by @Muslim_Aid
We’re working with over 2,200 students across Luton to support mental health, resilience, and youth leadership through culturally sensitive, student-led initiatives.
Delivered through the @muslimmind_uk (founded by BCBN), this initiative tackles trauma, stigma, and identity-based challenges by embedding faith-sensitive support directly into schools.
Announcing BCBN’s New Flagship Programme: Resilient Minds. This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we're proud to launch Resilient Minds — a bold new school-based programme supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young Muslims in Luton.
