Starting Point, a social enterprise hub in Pickering Road, Barking, received the money from the NatWest Skills and Opportunities Fund for its New Beginnings project.
Nicola Brown, co-ordinator at Starting Point, said: “This funding will go a long way to help us to continue to deliver a vital service to east London.”
