The branch of Worth Unlimited in Waltham Forest has been running since May 2000, developed from scratch by a group of concerned local Christians. The London Borough of Waltham Forest is in the North East of London and although the north of the Borough is suburban, much of the south is typically inner-city in feel. There are, however, as many problems of exclusion and disaffection among young people in the north as there are in the south of the borough suggesting that our aim to tackle the causes of exclusion are about more than just financial poverty.

Genuine partnerships are key to the work that we do in Waltham Forest. Our continually developing and wide ranging portfolio which we deliver with a range of local partners provides the framework for us to support young people through a range of life issues.

Our team of qualified and experienced youth workers and social workers seek to be flexible and innovative in the way we work with young people to tackle the issues they encounter.  We strive to take that same flexibility into our partnerships with other agencies and funders in order to help them meet their identified needs as well.   An example of this is our recently developed partnership with the Parish of Walthamstow which led to a new Community Outreach Worker being employed to work in a difficult area in Walthamstow.

We are keen to continue developing our existing and new partnerships in order to ensure that young people are able to make successful transition to adulthood and welcome approaches from interested organizations.
