Description:
City Gateway looks to bring hope to Tower Hamlets by connecting with local women and disadvantaged young people, and running programmes which engage them, train them and provide them with the skills and opportunities they need to enter work.
We run a Women's Project, Youth Training, a Youth Centre and a Social Enterprise Hub - offering disadvantaged individuals everything from community events and drop-in youth clubs through to apprenticeship schemes and the chance to develop their own business ideas. We look to bring together different cultures and work against conflict and division.
Overcoming obstacles such as poor language levels, a lack of role models, limited aspirations and low skill levels, we engage with the real needs of individuals through a step by step progression. In partnership with a wide range of firms and community organisations we have seen amazing changes in both groups and individuals and made a visible difference to local statistics.
