Shoreditch Trust

About us

Shoreditch Trust was established in 2000 under the national New Deal for Communities programme, to work to address severe disadvantage in the Shoreditch neighbourhood, south Hackney.  We aim to help individuals, families and communities improve their quality of life by focussing on programmes that identify and address the root causes of exclusion and inequality. 

The Trust has delivered over 400 projects.  Partnership is at the heart of the Trust’s work and we demonstrate a continued long term commitment to deliver meaningful change.  We recognise the need for responsible financial management in fulfilling this commitment and we achieve best value in everything we deliver.  Shoreditch remains at the heart of Shoreditch Trust’s charitable purpose, it is the area that we know best and the one with which we have the strongest community and partnership links.  As an organisation we have extensive experience of delivering effective, innovative and community led programmes, across Hackney and East London.

What We Do

Shoreditch Trust remain committed to delivering demonstrable socio-economic impact, by delivering programmes that respond directly to community need and that are genuinely additional to those services available through mainstream statutory service provision.  Our current Community Investment Strategy delivers across 5 interlinked areas;

• Wellbeing - a programme of activity that targets practical ways to reduce health inequalities. Our programmes adopt a person centred approach that enables individuals to become more confident, informed, and resilient, in order to make constructive personal life choices and actively improve health and wellbeing.
• Skills for Life - working with target groups that face severe marginalisation from labour market opportunities such as ex-offenders and care leavers to support their transition to independent living and access work opportunities in the catering industry.
• Enriched Learning and Living – we understand that improving one's quality of life is not just about social and economic transformation it is about enjoyment, enrichment, and aspiration.  These outcomes are achieved through the provision of positive activities with young people and encourage creative and critical learning as well as stimulating social inclusion through a broader appreciation of ‘culture’.
• Financial Inclusion –widening access to appropriate financial services and improve financial capability amongst vulnerable households.  This facilitates more targeted partnership led activity, that will empower people to be more informed users of community finance institutions and mainstream financial services,
• Enterprise Support – developing award winning social enterprise activity and providing affordable workspace for entrepreneurs and growing Small and Medium sized Enterprises in the creative industry.
