City Gateway is a charity that provides training for disadvantaged young people in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets[1] and other boroughs of Greater London.

Services

City Gateway works with disadvantaged individuals through community events, drop-in youth clubs and apprenticeship schemes, and gives them the chance to develop their own business ideas.

It runs women’s projects, youth training, a youth centre and a social enterprise hub.[2]

It is one of the most popular youth projects in the area, and has successfully trained many young people who were formerly not in employment, education or training ("NEETs").[2] City Gateway's support for young people was described as "incredible" following several awards at the ERDF and ESF London Awards 2011.[3]

{{As of|2012}} it employs 120 people,[5] and has about 60 corporate partners who provide apprenticeships, work experience or mentors.[6]

History

City Gateway was established by a group of people who worked in the City of London and wanted to support the local community. In 2003 it was a small organisation on the point of being wound up when Eddie Stride, a local man who had recently graduated from Cambridge University, joined as a youth outreach worker. Having secured approval from the trustees to keep it going for a year, he raised £40,000 from two corporate sponsors, and began training 15 "NEETs" in job-seeking skills. He was shortly promoted to CEO; by 2008 he had developed the organisation into one with an annual turnover of £1 million,[2] reaching £4.5  million by 2012.[4]

In July 2012 City Gateway won the Prime Minister's Big Society Award.[5]

The Evening Standard selected City Gateway as the partner in its "Ladder for London" campaign, launched in September 2012, asking commercial companies to take on more apprentices.[6][7]
