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:
Ā· 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent ā that's 15-20% of the population
Ā· 56% of children in Tower Hamlets live in poverty
Ā· Neurodivergent individuals face 30-40% higher unemployment rates
Ā· Traditional mental health services end at age 18āright when young adults need support most
Ā· Early intervention is proven to transform outcomes ā 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.
