The Social Entrepreneur: Making Communities Work
By Andrew Mawson
When Andrew Mawson arrived in Bromley-by-Bow in the east end of London, in the 1980s, it was in a state of social, economic and material disrepair. Living there, getting to know the residents and institutions, he soon realized that by unlocking its untapped potential, the community could begin to turn itself around. The result: the Bromley-by-Bow Centre has encouraged literacy, housing, business, health, welfare and enterprise in the area to flourish. Time and again using the same approach, Mawson has succeeded where the government and others have failed. His inspiring and timely book will demonstrate, through his own experience how, by seeking creative, dynamic, entrepreneurial ways of tackling seemingly intractable social problems, we can all make real changes in our communities.

Long Live the Lords!
The House of Lords is like a living, breathing newspaper – its collective mind is a mine of information. In my experience, though, the calibre of its content is far higher than you will find in any broadsheet.

Mr. Mawson,
Let me congratulate you for your incredible work and for the excellent book you have written.
Reading it has been a pleasure and a truly inspirational experience.
It is greatly rewarding to know that other people have managed to achieve so much with so little (I could not help grinning when I read that you started off with £400 in your church's bank account).
Keep up the good work.
God bless you,
Jorge
