ABOUT ST. KATHARINE'S TRUST:

THE HIDDEN STRUGGLE

In the shadow of London's wealth, young minds struggle with challenges no one can see. Dyslexia. Autism. ADHD. Learning differences that isolate, frustrate, and steal confidence from children who simply think differently.

At St. Katharine's Trust, we see what others miss. We recognise potential where others see problems. We build bridges where society builds barriers.

The Reality We Face:

· 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent - that's 15-20% of the population

· 56% of children in Tower Hamlets live in poverty

· Neurodivergent individuals face 30-40% higher unemployment rates

· Traditional mental health services end at age 18 - right when young adults need support most

· Early intervention is proven to transform outcomes - but remains out of reach for most families

OUR RESPONSE

Founded in 2006 by Matin Miah, St. Katharine's Trust started by creating opportunities through sport. Today, we've evolved to address an even more urgent need: supporting neurodivergent young people aged 18-34 in Tower Hamlets.

We provide FREE, accessible programmes that build confidence, develop skills, and create pathways to employment and independence. No overheads. No bureaucracy. Just dedicated volunteers transforming lives.

What We Do

1. Neurodiversity Support Programmes

Tailored support for young adults with dyslexia, autism, ADHD, and other learning differences. Our neuroscience-backed approach, developed in partnership with NeuroLeadership.io, ensures our coaching, mentoring, and skills development work with how neurodivergent brains naturally process information - not against it - in an environment designed for authentic success.

2. Employment Readiness

CV workshops, interview preparation, and work placement support specifically adapted for neurodivergent job seekers. We partner with employers who value cognitive diversity.

3. Community & Belonging

Sport and recreation activities adapted for different sensory needs and learning styles. From football to table tennis, we create spaces where everyone belongs.
