Some changes to our schedule... Gateway in October

Dear Gateway Members & Supporters

Yesterday at a special members’ meeting which included attendance by Gateway’s Management Committee Chairperson and other Management Committee members, the decision to reduce drop in hours and activities was taken by members after much discussion and consideration of the current project resources and where to prioritise them.  As many of you will understand, in recent times Gateway has become very busy with attendance at drop in doubling.  In order to be able to continue to provide a safe and healthy environment and adequate balance of staffing,  some reduction to Gateway’s activities has been agreed for the next few months.  Below is the new schedule for October which reflects these changes which will see drop in opening from 2-4pm.

Notes from yesterday's meeting are available to members through the drop in.

These were hard decisions for the Project to make with a view to protecting the project, its members and staff for the future success of Gateway. If anyone would like to lead/support a café meet up after drop in, please let us know on info@gatewaymha.com or in person during drop in.

Please be assured that these changes are only temporary. Everyone is doing their best to make Gateway the success it has become. It is a terrific peer and member led project but needs a bit of nurturing and time to resettle following significant change this year.

We appreciate everyone’s support and wish everyone well. 

The Gateway Team
