Tackling Exclusion Promoting Integration
For the Communities
Over the past four decades Bangladesh Youth Movement has been acting as a beacon to the youth & community of Tower Hamlets in guiding them to engage with the mainstream society. Starting with the anti- racist struggles of the late seventies it has evolved into a new and different body that is poised to develop its own definition and meaning of the big society in the second decade of the 21st century. Whatever changes that had to be made to adjust to the new realities of social and political life BYM has remained loyal to its original and abiding principles of serving the local community and meeting their diverse range of needs. What started as vehicle representing Bangladeshi young men has moved to deliver services for women, the elderly and children. Starting with issues around racial attacks and harassment.
