Founded in 2001, Streets of Growth is a social enterprise charity specialising in engaging youth and young adults away from educational and career drop-out, postcode territorialism, group/gang violence, criminality, drugs, and associated behaviours leading to harm, poverty, neighbourhood dysfunction and dependency.
We are based in one of the UK’s most socially deprived wards in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, and over the past decade our innovative prevention and intervention approaches have helped transform the lives of some of the most disengaged disenfranchised young communities aged 11-22 years.
Our passion, vision and practice have won us local, nationwide, and international recognition for our creative adaptability and willingness to venture ‘beyond the familiar’ when pushing the boundaries of Youth Development and Community Regeneration. A reputation that has led us to being awarded Best ‘grass roots’ Community Organisation for Contributions to Community Safety & Cohesion by Tower Hamlets Council.
