Barking, east London · UK & Bangladesh
Education, advice and community — here and in Bangladesh.
Intuition Trust supports people of Bangladeshi origin through homework tuition, employment training, advice services, and clubs for young people and the elderly.
About Intuition Trust
We are a community charity based in Barking, east London, working for the benefit of the local community and of people of Bangladeshi origin in the UK and Bangladesh.
Established in 2007 and registered as a charity in 2008, the Trust advances the education of young people in Bangladesh, works to relieve poverty, hardship and distress, and promotes good health and religious harmony — educating the public about different religious beliefs, their distinctive features and their common ground.
Day to day, that means practical services run by and for the community: after-school tuition, help into work, advice on the issues that affect people's lives, and welcoming spaces for the young and the old.
What we do
Our services are open to the local community and shaped by what people tell us they need.
Advice, information & guidance
Free, friendly advice on the issues affecting our community — from housing and benefits to education and health — helping people find their way to the right support.
Homework tuition
After-school tuition classes for children at Key Stages 2 and 3, giving young people extra help with their schoolwork in a supportive setting.
Employment & training
Education and training for long-term unemployed people — building skills, confidence and routes back into work.
Elderly & pensioners' club
A regular club for older people, with companionship, activities and occasional prayer sessions — tackling isolation and keeping people connected.
Youth club
A safe, welcoming space for young people to meet, learn and take part in positive activities.
Religious & Arabic classes
Classes for young people in religious studies and Arabic, alongside our wider work to promote understanding and harmony between people of different faiths.
Our community
Rooted in Barking
Intuition Trust is based in Barking, in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham — one of the most diverse communities in the country, and home to a large and long-established Bangladeshi community.
Our clubs, classes and advice services are run locally, by people who know the community and speak its languages.
Linked to Bangladesh
Alongside our work in the UK, the Trust advances the education of young persons in Bangladesh and works to relieve poverty and protect health among people of Bangladeshi origin — keeping the connection between the two communities alive.
Why education?
Education is where opportunity begins. Whether it is a child in Barking who needs help with their homework, an adult who has been out of work for years and wants to retrain, or a young person in Bangladesh whose schooling depends on support from charities like ours — the principle is the same.
Give people the chance to learn, and they can change their own lives. That belief has guided Intuition Trust since 2007.
Faith & understanding
We run religious and Arabic classes for young people, and occasional prayer sessions for elderly members of the community.
Beyond our own community, we work to promote religious harmony — educating the public about different religious beliefs, their distinctive features and their common ground, to build good relations between people of different faiths.
