About Care City
We are a Community Interest Company. This means we exist primarily to benefit our East London rather than to make a profit for shareholders.
We were founded by LBBD and NELFT in 2015, to bring together health, social care, and third sector partners from across the system with researchers, education providers, technology experts, small and medium-sized companies and social entrepreneurs to develop health and social care delivery and workforce models for the future.
