We are very excited to be moving into a new centre at Heron Quays today, thanks to our partners the Canary Wharf Group. The space will house our main offices, our social enterprise hub and some of our apprenticeship training. It’ll be a great professional environment for young people to be working & learning in.

We'll bring you more information and details of the programmes we'll be running there soon. In the meantime our new address is:

Safia Altaf won the “Skills for Life Award” at the Skills for London Awards, presented by Lee McQueen at Madame Tussauds last night.

Before coming to City Gateway Safia Altaf lacked self-confidence and was struggling to find work. She had tried to find employment but couldn’t do so.

Representatives from more than 10 major firms (including The Economist, Allen & Overy, Denton Wilde Sapte and Societe Generale) came down to the City Gateway Women’s Project today to mark the launch of a new ‘100 Women’ partnership initiative. The scheme encourages to get involved in the community in Tower Hamlets, whilst capturing the stories of 100 women whose lives are changed by it in time for the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day next March.

Moshoda Khatun, once a benneficiary at our Women's Project and now the head of outreach there, was this morning chosen by BBC London as one of three community representatives who quized the local candidates on the morning the election was called - whoever becomes the next MP for Poplar and Limehouse (one of the constituencies we work in) they'll have had an insight into some of the real issues facing women in Tower Hamlets.

In the week of the 99th Annual International Women's Day, City Gateway Women's Project (based in East London) has been recognised in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Third Sector Excellence Awards.

The team were the runners up in the "Supporting Vulnerable People" award, recognising the efforts they've made to support more than 500 disadvantaged women in the local community.
