The goal is for the young people to build self-confidence through learning -- some formal and some not -- and entrepreneurship. SSS was founded by Sissy Rooney whose background is in the fashion industry, where she worked at [Bench and Hooch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bench-jeweller-education). SSS is suitable for a range of activities and people including community days, intergenerational projects, after-school workshops, young offenders institutions and children's parties. Their website illuminates the bigger picture behind their quotidian activities: "Every day [SSS] show[s] young people from often troubled backgrounds that creativity can open doors to a better life -– and even lead to a fulfilling career." **Contact Information** Street Style Surgery [website](http://www.streetstylesurgery.co.uk/) Street Style Surgery on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/47838306022/) Street Style Surgery on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/#!/sissy_rooney) Street Style Surgery on [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/user/streetstylesurgery) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Youth Entrepreneurship Workshops:** Social enterprises like Street Style Surgery are empowering the youth through workshops that teach them entrepreneurship skills. - **Creative Confidence Building Programs:** Programs that focus on creative skills, like dance and fashion design, are helping young people build self-confidence and creating a better future for themselves. - **Intergenerational Community Projects:** Street Style Surgery is facilitating intergenerational community projects, which can lead to greater understanding and cohesion among diverse groups. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Enterprises:** Social enterprises like Street Style Surgery are making an impact in communities by providing innovative solutions to social problems. - **Youth Education:** Innovative programs like those offered by Street Style Surgery are helping to transform the education system and equipping young people with valuable skills. - **Creative Industries:** The creative industry is seeing a rise in social impact-focused businesses, with companies like Street Style Surgery leading the way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beauty Entrepreneurs Growth Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breakout-beauty.md) - [In-Store Repair Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-it-for-longer.md) - [Personalized Fashion Advice Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-stylers.md) - [Recycled Utensil Street Gyms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gymshark-x-steel-warriors.md) - [Emerging London Designer Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powershift-exhibition.md) - [Inclusive Social Support Programmes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcr-social.md) - [Empowering Home Improvement Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resurfacing-solutions.md) - [African Fashion Futures Incubators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/african-fashion-futures-incubator.md) - [Experience Cocktail Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirithouse-toronto.md)
