The Gate Charity’s aim is to serve the needs of the community by offering practical help and choice for positive change. Through their projects, The Soup Pot, Foodbank, Starter Pack, Clothing Bank and Community Café they provide a safe and welcoming environment that is open to all, particularly the vulnerable, marginalized and homeless. Everyone is treated equally and with dignity and respect. The projects of the Charity are delivered by volunteers who give their time and talents to make The Gate Centre a very special place. The Gate has been honored with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award a voluntary group can receive in the UK.
