Dublin Bus Community Spirit Awards grant Gateway €2000 to make a film

Gateway Project awarded €2,000 grant to build skills and leadership through a film-making project from Dublin Bus!

Gateway applied to the Dublin Bus Community Spirit Initiative earlier this year seeking a grant for members to engage in a film-making project for Gateway. 

We applied for funding so that members could engage in leadership and skills development programme through film making.  The goal is for members to learn the skills to make a film all about Gateway and the wonderful work we do to support inclusion and positive mental health.  The funding for this programme will give members a chance to build their skills, confidence and leadership in the project and will produce an important information film that we can use in the future.

Last night we attended the award ceremony to find out the great news. It was a rather fancy evening in the Mansion House and terrific to hear about all the great community groups and organisations that also received funding. 

Maura, Oliver D, Ann Marie and Fionn represented Gateway.  We had a fab night and met some interesting people like Niall Quinn.  

We say a big thank you to Dublin Bus for caring about mental health and supporting our fabulous project.

Onwards and upwards folks!
