Mission Statement

Shoreditch Trust works with children, vulnerable young people (and at risk adults) in a variety of ways and is committed to providing a safe, positive and friendly environment to children and at risk adults.

About This Cause

Shoreditch Trust was formed in 1999 as part of the government’s New Deal for Communities Programme. The initial remit involved regeneration of a specific part of Shoreditch, working closely with community members to ensure their input was heard, and training them to be able to continue to influence change in their local area in the future. One example of this is the redevelopment of Shoreditch Park, detailed below. Since 2000, we have developed significant expertise in regeneration and social engagement through strong and fulfilling partnerships with a range of service providers, supporters and funders. As we became more involved in the local community, it became apparent that the issues we were addressing in the area were not “easy fixes”, and would require care and attention beyond the scope of the original proposal. We therefore developed a mixed enterprise and community asset portfolio to enable continuation of the programme post-Government Funding (2000-2010). Since 2010 we have also expanded, offering our services further afield to the wider Hackney community and Greater London. Using an integrated approach to support people - as well as place-based physical improvements - we have laid the foundations for a sustainable development. Now, we have a strong Assets and Enterprise team supporting our charitable delivery, and an extensive and inclusive Health and Wellbeing programme encouraging balanced, positive lifestyles and improved quality of life. All of our work aims to promote community engagement and self-development. Long term, we aim to deliver social objectives and generate financial surpluses that enable ongoing delivery of our charitable objectives. Shoreditch Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales no. 1086812 and a company limited by Guarantee. The Company was established in December 1999 under a Memorandum and Articles of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company, and is governed under its Articles of Association.
