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.
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").[3] City Gateway's support for young people was described as "incredible" following several awards at the ERDF and ESF London Awards 2011.[4]
As of 2012[update] it employs 120 people,[5] and has about 60 corporate partners who provide apprenticeships, work experience or mentors.[6]
