STREETS OF GROWTH 

Streets of Growth are community-led organisation, based in Tower Hamlets, specialising in youth leadership development and sustained neighbourhood transformation. We design and deliver high impacting leadership programmes with high-risk young people (15-25 yrs) coaching, and enabling them to move out of social, economic, educational disaffection, violence and poverty.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 13 years
(20 years as a company)
