Lord Andrew Mawson OBE, Chairman of 360 Degree Society

Lord Andrew Mawson is a leading British social entrepreneur. He was appointed Chairman of Well North Enterprises in 2019 following the success of the Well North programme, which
Andrew led from 2015 – 2019. This was a Public Health England initiative bringing together the public and private sectors, and local communities to improve the health of people living in
some of the most deprived parts of the North of England. Well North Enterprises has now created 15 Innovation Platforms across the country.

Andrew is perhaps best known for founding the Bromley-by-Bow Centre in East London, the first working example of a fully integrated primary health care facility in the country. The centre
today has over 287 staff, 97 businesses it has built with local people, and is responsible for 55,000 patients across Poplar. The centre is visited by over 2000 people a year from across the
country and internationally. The Well North programme has grown out of this 40-year track record and is now taking the principles originally developed at the Bromley by Bow Centre and
working with partners to apply them in challenging communities across the country.

Andrew, also founded Community Action Network (CAN) in 1997, a national programme for social entrepreneurs, Poplar Harca (one of the country’s first housing companies) and Leaside
Regeneration Ltd, which brought in over £100 million investment into the Lower Lea Valley. Andrew has now “graduated” from most of these ventures and each of them continues as a
successful organisation. He has now created Andrew Mawson Partnerships (AMP) as a vehicle both to grow and replicate his approach and successes, and today runs a very successful Science
Summer School with Professor Brian Cox which is in the process of going national.

In 2012, Andrew was made a Freeman of the City of London. He is also the best-selling author of the book, “The Social Entrepreneur: Making Communities Work.” Andrew’s work is also
featured in Lord Crisp’s latest book (former CEO of the NHS) ‘Health is made at home; hospitals are for repair’.

Andrew and his partners wrote the first paper proposing that the Olympic Games be brought to East London in 2012. He was involved in the Olympic project for 19 years from day one. He was a
Director of the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) and then the London Legacy Development Corporation. Andrew Chaired the Regeneration and Community Partnerships Committee for 10
years on both boards, stepping down in 2018. Since the Games this development corporation has planned, developed, and managed the Olympic Park in East London and is creating a lasting
legacy from the 2012 Games. The new £1.1billion East Bank campus development has brought to the Park the Victoria and Albert Museum, University College London, the BBC and Sadlers
Wells, the London College of Fashion to name a few. This £1.2 bn project was Andrew and Paul Brickell’s original idea in 2006, which was an attempt to build an Innovation District in the heart
of the east end of London based on the Bromley principles, bringing together business and social entrepreneurs. The project was backed by the then Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, when he
was Chairman of the London Legacy Development Corporation.

Under the AMP banner, Andrew co-founded One Church 100 Uses CIC and launched the Water City Group to create and implement a vision for East London revitalised by the opportunities of
the 21st Century and the 2012 Olympic Games. Andrew was made a life Peer in 2007 in recognition of the social impact of his work, and he now sits as an independent Crossbench Peer in the
House of Lords.
